Mountain biking

An evocative and surreal location, the dead trees sprout like fingers from the water inhabited by monstrous fish. The location was also used in the film "La terra dei figli".

Mountain biking

A place where the consequences of the mid-20th century extraction of methane gas from the Polesine subsoil are clearly visible.

"The subsidence affected almost the entire delta and caused drops that reached maximum values of almost three meters and average values of two metres. This fact, less traumatic, slow to manifest but highly insidious, also had a decisive influence on the hydrographic network of the lower Po and the history of the routes and floods." (Delta Po Adige Reclamation Consortium)
