Comacchio and Voghiera: Ancient Po Delta | Italia Slow Tour
(ENG) Comacchio and the whole area of river Po Delta are a triumph of water control engineering! In the past the river crossed the Po valley like a water highway and it was used for trade and commerce. Sailing the Po made it possible to travel beyond the Alps towards central and northern Europe: it was a way to bring different cultures together. Visit Comacchio with its museum of the Roman ship and the archaeological area of Voghenza with a rich necropolis whose archaeological finds can be seen at the Museum inside the Renaissance palace Delizia Estense di Belriguardo.

(ITA) Il Delta antico del Po: Comacchio e Voghiera
L'area intorno alla città di Comacchio fino all'alto medioevo coincideva con l'antico Delta del fiume Po. Tale circostanza determinò le sorti e la fortuna di tutti gli insediamenti che sorgevano a ridosso del fiume, una vera e propria autostrada per lo scambio di merci e il transito di persone dall'Adriatico (e, quindi, dal Mediterraneo) fino al centro Europa, grazie anche al suo complesso sistema di affluenti. Il fiume, quindi, oltre a rendere fertile con le sue acque il territorio circostante e a nutrirlo con la sua fauna (ad esempio lo storione, fino a poco tempo fa una delle delizie del Po) costituiva non solo una risorsa economica strategica ma anche un fondamentale veicolo di contatto e di confronto tra diverse culture. In questo slow tour visiteremo Comacchio e il suo splendido museo civico dedicato allo straordinario carico di una nave romana della fine del I sec. a.C., perfettamente conservato, per proseguire poi verso l'interno, risalendo l'antico corso del fiume oggi scomparso fino a raggiungere i resti monumentali della necropoli romana imperiale di Voghienza e a scoprire i suo pregiati corredi oggi raccolti nel nuovo allestimento del Museo Civico del Belriguardo, una delizia rinascimentale voluta dagli Estensi, oggi sede privilegiata per l'esposizione di altrettante delizie.

Welcome to the extreme Po Delta Park! Let's have a tour on the boat of a local fisherman. This area is still intact, less touched by human hand. Discover something about the fish species living here, above all they are euryhaline, that is they can adapt to both salt and fresh water.

Places to see in ( Ferrara - Italy ) Palazzo Schifanoia
Places to see in ( Ferrara - Italy ) Palazzo Schifanoia
Palazzo Schifanoia is a Renaissance palace in Ferrara, Emilia-Romagna built for the Este family. The name Schifanoia is thought to originate from schivar la noia meaning literally to escape from boredom which describes accurately the original intention of the palazzo and the other villas in close proximity where the Este court relaxed. The highlights of its decorations are the allegorical frescoes with details in tempera by or after Francesco del Cossa and Cosmè Tura, executed ca 1469–70, a unique survival of their time.
This palace forms part of a catalogue of pleasure palaces for the Este family, including the following:
Delizia di Belriguardo a Voghiera
Delizia del Verginese a Portomaggiore
Castello di Mesola a Mesola
Villa della Mensa a Sabbioncello San Vittore
Delizia di Benvignante ad Argenta, Italy
The Palace of Belfiore which once held the Studiolo of the Palazzo Belfiore, no longer exists.
The palace had its origins in a single-storey structure without wings built for Alberto V d'Este (1385), a small retreat intended solely for suppers and diversions (delizie), as a sort of banqueting house, with an urban front and a garden front. As the equivalent of a Roman villa suburbana, the Palazzo Schifanoia long predated the first such pleasure villa built in Renaissance Rome, the Belvedere built for Nicholas V.
In 1452 Borso d'Este received the title of Duke for the imperial fiefs of Modena and Reggio Emilia that he held from Emperor Frederick III. The occasion for the cycle of frescoes was the expected investiture of Borso d'Este as Duke of Ferrara in 1471 by Pope Paul II. The subtext of the festivities embodied in the fresco cycle is the right ordering of mankind and nature under the good government of the Duke, the guarantor of peace and prosperity in the Este dominions. Under the commissions of Borso d'Este, the architect Pietro Benvenuto degli Ordini was called upon to develop a ducal apartment on an upper level, providing the building with a salone suitable for presentations of ambassadors and delegations, a counterpart of the governing structure of Ferrara housed in the former Palazzo della Ragione, destroyed in World War II. The palace was often used by Marfisa d'Este, a great patron of the arts.
There, in the Salone dei Mesi (Hall of the Months), Cosimo Tura's purely pagan cycle of the months presents the cycle of the year as an allegorical pageant with the appropriate Olympian gods presiding on their fanciful cars drawn by the beasts proper to each deity, with appropriate personifications of the constellations of the zodiac. The frescoes were realized circa 1469–70 by artisans of the d'Este household, the larger figures based on cartoons by Cosmé Tura, and the vignettes of the labors of the year and the activities of the Ferrarese court under the benevolent eye of Borso d'Este, flanked by astrological figures to designs by Francesco del Cossa and Ercole de' Roberti. The learned and elaborate scheme of the allegorical presentations must have come from the immediate circle of Borso d'Este, perhaps from the court astrologer, Pellegrino Prisciani, with some details drawn from Boccaccio's Genealogia deorum.
In the Sala delle Virtù (Hall of Virtues) nearby, the sculptor Domenico di Paris painted the stucco reliefs in a frieze of putti and symbols of the Cardinal and Theological Virtues, under a painted compartmented ceiling.
Palazzo Schifanoia forms part of the heritage of Ferrara conserved under the umbrella of the Musei Civici d'Arte Antica di Ferrara. The 14th and 15th century rooms contain collections of antiquities, a numismatic collection and medals cast by Pisanello and other Quattrocento artists to commemorate members of the Este family.

Comacchio e Trepponti
Alla scoperta di Comacchio e dei suoi ponti: il ponte degli sbirri e il famosissimo Trepponti, uno dei luoghi più suggestivi per la sua scenografia inconfondibile.
Comacchio, di origine lagunare è, sotto l'aspetto paesaggistico e storico, uno dei centri maggiori del delta del Po e le sue origini risalgono a circa duemila anni fa.
Tutti conoscono Comacchio per il complesso architettonico dei Trepponti, costruito nel 1634 dall'architetto Luca Danesi e costituito da ben cinque scalinate (tre anteriori e due posteriori), convergenti in una terrazza in pietra d'Istria. Trepponti è sicuramente il simbolo di Comacchio, piacevole cittadina dove si possono passare bei momenti passeggiando per le vie principali o seduti a uno dei tavolini panoramici dei numerosi ristorantini tipici che si trovano direttamente sui canali e permettono di ammirare i suggestivi riflessi delle case colorate sulle acque percorse dalle imbarcazioni che trasportano i turisti.
