THE PO DELTA PARK
The 7 Lidos of Comacchio lie in the Delta Park which is one of the largest naturalistic parks in Italy and spreads over an area of 60.000 hectares. The Park is situated in the Po Valley, where the river Po fans out into the Adriatic sea and comprehends famous cities such as Venice, Ravenna and Ferrara. In the Po Delta Park the tourist has the opportunity of enjoying famous seaside resorts but also of discovering unique landscapes and one the richest historical area of Italy.

Comacchio and its Marshlands
Comacchio was originally a fishing village, which became an important centre for the salt trading. It is usually called "Little Venice" because it was built on 13 islands connected to each others by bridges. The most famous bridge is the "Trepponti" (Three Bridges) built in 1634 by Luca Danese and consists of five staircases which join at the top. However the most important "monuments" are Comacchio Valleys or marshlands.
	Nowadays, after 100 years of man-made drainage, only 10.000 hectares of marshes survive; enough, to make this land one of the most interesting natural environment in Italy. Comacchio marshlands are popular for eels fishing; they choose these warm and shallow waters, rich in nourishment to reproduce. When the eels return to the sea they are captured in special traps which Comacchio fishermen have used for centuries.

Pomposa Abbey
A few kilometres from Comacchio, stands Pomposa Abbey an ancient Benedictine monastery which is well known for its Bell Tower and the frescoes from the School of Giotto. Originally the convent complex stood on a small island and was the seat where the Abbot administered justice.


Mesola Castle and its Forest
Mesola Castle is one of the so called "Delizia" or pleasure estates of the Dukes of Este. It was built in the 16th century to provide hospitality for the court during the hunting season. The only forest of any great expanse is the "Gran Bosco della Mesola", the remains of the ancient forests and pinewoods of the Adriatic plains; it boasts a wide range of multicoloured fauna (dune deers, foxes and badgers) and birdlife. The birdwatchers choose this forest to watch the several species of birds, such as herons, cormorants and so on.
