In the last decades many lowlands belonging to the Padanian Plain (Northern Italy) have been flooded several times as a consequence of the collapse of minor-river levees, as it is the case of the tremendous flooding hitting on May 2023 the Emilia-Romagna Region, where over 20 levees failed inundating a very huge area. The preservation of levee integrity represents, therefore, one of the major issues for the Emilia-Romagna Civil Protection Agency, that financed a field trial of a revetment equipped with optical fibre cable to monitor the response of a levee embankment stretch under extreme hydraulic loads. The paper presents and discusses some results of the experimental investigation carried out so far.

Abstract
In the last decades many lowlands belonging to the Padanian Plain (Northern Italy) have been flooded several times as a consequence of the collapse of minor-river levees, as it is the case of the tremendous flooding hitting on May 2023 the Emilia-Romagna Region, where over 20 levees failed inundating a very huge area. The preservation of levee integrity represents, therefore, one of the major issues for the Emilia-Romagna Civil Protection Agency, that financed a field trial of a revetment equipped with optical fibre cable to monitor the response of a levee embankment stretch under extreme hydraulic loads. The paper presents and discusses some results of the experimental investigation carried out so far.
