wetland formed by marshes, channels, lagoons, rivers and, of
course, sea. The “Delta del Po” Park has an
enormous naturalistic interest because of the biodiversity and the
variate ecosystems that it offers.
The area of the Po Delta is the perfect habitat for a lot of
species of birds and is a real paradise for birdwatchers
and lovers of birding.
The territory presents a real interest not only on the naturalistic
side but also on the cultural one, with a lot of important artistic
and historical monuments, like the Mesola Castle, the Pomposa
abbey , Comacchio, Ravenna with its churches and monuments and also
