Padimetro, Historical water gauge in Ferrara, Italy.
The Padimetro consists of a white marble slab embedded along the full height of a column supporting the portico of Palazzo Ducale.
The water gauge records seventeen different flood levels of the Po River between 1705 and 1951, marking significant water events in the region.
The name Padimetro derives from ancient Latin 'padus metros', where Padus represents the original name of the Po River.
Located near Castello Estense at the corner of Piazza Girolamo Savonarola and Corso Martiri della Libertà, the monument remains accessible to visitors.
The base level of the Padimetro indicates a guard mark at Pontelagoscuro, corresponding to 8.51 meters above sea level.
