Default p bissetti query

Hi all, i am hoping to get some feedback on the following scenario. I have a small place in central france with a traffic noise issue, and after doing some research, was thinking of planting p bissetti just inside a thick hedge which runs about 15 metres along the noisy boundary. One about every metre so i gather. Most of this planting area gets a lot of direct sunlight, which can be very hot in high summer. Also can go to minus 15 or 20 in winter. The ground is quite fertile and well draining. My questions are...

Is p bissetti a suitable bamboo for this environment and for what i intend. It seems so from what i read but people might have other experiences..

Also, i would really rather not have to bury a 15 metre liner both sides of the plants to contain the spread... can it be contained on my side with regular trimming and maintenance? And will the dense hedging on the other side prevent it running into the adjacent field..

Please let me know your views, and many thanks in advance.
