Idroscalo Sant'Anna, Urban park at Sant'Anna, Sesto Calende, Italy.
The park extends along Lake Maggiore, featuring walking paths, cycling routes, and open spaces surrounded by native trees and vegetation.
Between 1920 and 1930, the site operated as a seaplane base where Savoia-Marchetti S.55 aircraft conducted transatlantic flights under Italo Balbo's command.
The restored hangar houses exhibitions about aviation history, preserving the memory of Sesto Calende's role in aeronautical development.
Visitors can access the park throughout the year, with facilities including walking trails, picnic areas, and a multi-purpose hall for events.
An entrance arch displays a restored Royal Air Force eagle, while an original air-raid shelter and seaplane pontoon remain on the grounds.
