Comacchio, Lagoon commune in Province of Ferrara, Italy
The city spans across thirteen small islands connected by stone bridges, with numerous canals flowing through its historic center along the Po Delta.
Founded during Roman times, Comacchio developed as a vital port for salt production and trade, competing with Venice until restrictions limited its commerce.
The town maintains traditions centered on eel fishing, with specialized preparation methods and dedicated festivals celebrating this culinary heritage.
Visitors can explore the Ancient Delta Museum, Cathedral of San Cassiano, and Trepponti Bridge through guided walks or boat tours along the canals.
The Valli di Comacchio wetlands contain extensive salt pans where traditional fishing methods persist, supporting local marine preservation efforts.
