Escursioni, paesaggi ferraresi

Year: 1998 Format: 16x23 Pages: 180 Photos: Col Enclosed between the Po and the Rhine and the Adriatic Sea, the Ferrara area is a land that tells of the age-old struggle that man has fought to wrest the dominion over the waters environment. With its capital, one of the capitals of the Renaissance, the water city of Comacchio and the Abbey of Pomposa, the Ferrarese attracts visitors and curious people from all over the world in search of the most precious testimonies of our country's art history. This volume, however, represents an absolute novelty in the field of publishing in the Ferrara area: 20 itineraries that can be covered on foot or by bike with particular attention to the transformations carried out on the territory with land reclamation, to their imposing artefacts, to the "minor" architectural emergencies, to the landscapes of the "new lands", to the fishing valleys and to the very rich natural heritage that the province of Ferrara still preserves.
