The Po Delta, a national park where the waves of the sea mix with the sand of the dunes, and where the roots of the white willows give way to immense lagoons, which reflect the pink feathered flamingos. Recognized as a UNESCO biosphere reserve in 2015, this park contains more than seventy different habitats, in which dozens of different species of fish, mammals and birds live. This particular ecosystem welcomes various productive activities rooted in time.
The most important: sturgeon fishing, known to be the caviar of the Po, and eel; but also for the breeding of clams and mussels, winning the second place in the world. All activities are carried out according to an accurate protocol in order to preserve the surrounding environment. To further support this conservationist logic, institutions such as the Cetacea Foundation are present on site. Their task is to watch over the 70,000 species of turtles that live in the Adriatic, and intervene if accidents happen. A Delta full of colors, vegetation, noises; that support and allow the local production impulse.
