Inscribed in the UNESCO heritage, the enchanting natural oasis covers an area of 54,000 hectares and extends between the provinces of Rovigo, Ferrara, and Ravenna. One of the largest wetlands in Europe, this extraordinary treasure trove of biodiversity includes vast forest formations covered with holm oaks, ash trees, white poplars, elms, downy oaks, hornbeams, and white willows, shady pine forests, brackish water areas covered with rough tamarisks, freshwater wetlands dotted with water lilies, and beaches marked by dunes covered with moss, sea medick, and junipers.
