These extremely strong structures are create by simple strategies like making use of weights and rope connections.They're firmly anchored in the rocky seabed below the water surface. The Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio who was simply born along this coast, described the trabocchi because the huge spiders of the ocean. They're man-made bridges between property and water.
