Italian vacation

Italian vacation

Hello! I was gone for two weeks, and let me tell you, feels like two weeks without the Internet is like a journey, diving into the ocean depths :) out of them, I was sure that I just don't have enough oxygen to clear cases and news that have accumulated over these days. However, today, I finally screwed up my courage and opened the drive... And not just because I have accumulated so much news and thoughts that I want to share that last for a week for sure :)

But in this post I will devote not photo-ops and not his car ( which, by the way, there's been a lot of change), and, in fact, one of those places that I visited. So for those who loves Italy and loves mnogabukav, I think this post is not very interesting;)
So, the city, struck me most and left a trail in my current ride, is the town of Comacchio, situated in the region of Emilia-Romagna near Ferrara. The town is very small, called "little Venice" and not by accident: his own story the most romantic cities in the world. Like Venice, Comacchio was formed at a time when Italy suffered greatly from the raids of the Lombards and Goths, and the indigenous people were saved by the fact that the established cities in the deltas of the rivers so that they were surrounded by water, which the invaders are not tolerated and feared. Thus, the entire city is composed of a plurality of channels through the banks which bridges cozy colorful houses, and the channels intersects the plurality of different architecture and structure of bridges. The Comacchio, which we see now has been around since 1630, accordingly, the feelings that attend man in this town that is comparable to moving into a time machine and make you feel like in the deep past that for me personally is feeling fantastic and very desirable. Also, I would like to say that I Comacchio did not seem similar to Venice: in contrast to her narrow damp streets and the constant feeling of a closed space, the city, by contrast, seems open and bright: the sun floods the square and the bridges, basking in the glow of the tiled roofs and shiny-ass balconies. Comacchio is extremely clean and well maintained, and the residents know each other entirely and down, smiling and sociable Italian. Separate words deserves the most famous building in Comacchio — bridge Trepponti. It was built by the architect Luca Danese in 1634 Is a fortress built in order to connect from 5 channels. If you look at it from the right angle, with the reflection in the channels, you will receive a perfect geometric shapes that will not leave anyone indifferent.

In General, a city that deserves in my opinion, much more than three lines to Vekipedii and I was very upset to find such minimal information about it on the Internet. You also, suggest strongly, if you will come to Ferrara, be sure to visit this extraordinary city. In my opinion, the real Italy lies precisely in cities such as Comacchio, Ravenna, my favorite or Porto Garibaldi Lido Degli Estensi with their unique color, mood and architecture. But they maybe will write next time...:) in the meantime some photos in confirmation to my humble description of this magical little town :)
