In a UNESCO World Heritage Site, preserved with the love for art and culture, which reveals itself in its ancient as well as its contemporary beauty. Sunbathing on a long stretch of fine sand, ideal for relaxing with friends or family, for practicing sports or playing on the beach, pampered by great food, music and hospitality In nature, where large stretches, lagoons, forests, waterways and farmlands design a mosaic to be lived slowly, by bike or by boat, equipped with binoculars and a desire for adventure Good food and traditions, from the sea to the Delta, to the countryside, in a thousand restaurants, festivals and folklore events where Renaissance cuisine mingles with the flavours of the countryside, in order to discover the taste of the most authentic tradition. THE POMPOSA ABBEY Between the green plains and the sea, the thousand-year old bell tower stands as a lookout; in the Abbey with its pure Romanesque lines, the geometry of the mosaic marble floor and the colors of the frescoes of the Giotto school chase each other like the seven notes on the staff, which was invented here! THE BEACHES OF THE LIDI DI COMACCHIO A sea for everyone: a slow sloping of very fine sand, ideal for castles adorned with shells; peace, talk, reading, listening to music whilst having drinks nestled by the sea. A complete spectrum of sports 24 hours non-stop. Shopping, rickshaws, cocktails and pop or house music, it’s up to you!! ON A BATANA UNDER THE TREPPONTI OF COMACCHIO In the daytime bustle of the local market or in the silence of the night, on a small flat-bottomed boat, the batana, a senior pilot, with the musical accent of Comacchio, will reveal to you the secrets of every canal, bridge, building or town square of the capital of the Po Delta and the kingdom of the eel. THE VALLI DI COMACCHIO BY BOAT, BY BICYCLE OR ON FOOT The men used to leave for their fishing trips in the lagoon and the women remained at home in the village, a hierarchical system of control that used to reign in their ancient stone houses: the great chimneys, the writing desks, the nets, the bolaghe – eel baskets... an old photo album to browse, the tale of history and nature, between eels and pink flamingos. THE 17 “PEARLS” OF GASTRONOMY IGP (Protected Geographical Indication), DOP (Protected Designation of Origin), DOC (Controlled and Guaranteed Designation of Origin) products, recognized, certified, quality guaranteed and especially good, the tastiest way to discover a country, to savour the sweetness and flavour, delicacy and roundness, its soft or angular and crunchy strength. BIRDWATCHING IN THE PO DELTA PARK More than 370 species live here or spend their “holidays” here, to recognize them one just needs a good guide, binoculars and the patience that preludes every discovery, and behold the wonder of their flight.... the beating of wings in the sky, a beak, yellow or black. Few details in order to recognize it... and you will be amazed! WHERE CAN YOU IMAGINE A COASTLINE FRAMED BY A NATURAL PARK RECOGNIZED BY THE UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE?
