Parco regionale del Delta del Po

The park encompasses 66,000 hectares of wetlands, forests, lagoons, and river channels where fresh and salt water create diverse ecological zones.

The formation of the Po Delta began 75,000 years ago during the last Ice Age, with the eastern edge stabilizing between 4000 and 3000 BC.

Traditional fishing communities maintain ancient practices in the park's waters, utilizing specialized techniques for catching eels and clams in the delta's channels.

Visitors can explore the park through designated paths for cycling, kayaking, and hiking, with observation points for watching over 300 bird species.

The park's ecosystem includes fossil dunes, ancient riverbeds, and wetlands that lie below sea level, requiring continuous water management by local authorities.
