A new propulsion for the motor ship Dalì
Since this year the motor ship Dalì has been renewed further. We had an intense period of shipbuilding and maintenance to guarantee our guests the best. In addition to a great deal of attention for carrying out the excursions, a lot of work is to be done even during the winter and Dali, for this reason, almost never stops. This year in particular we have re-engineered the motor ship with two new engines supplied by the Boni company marine engines of Cesenatico, leader in marine propulsion in Italy. Thanks to
Excursions start again
With great joy, we communicate that from 25 May 2020 Dalì is ready to set sail for a new adventure in the Po Delta Park.

It was a difficult time for everyone, but there was not a time when we stopped believing in this activity and all the improvement interventions we have carried out demonstrate it.

Today we can also communicate our restart and give you a definitely improved tour.
Centenary Porto Garibaldi
Porto Garibaldi celebrates an important recurrence this year, his change of name from Magnavacca to Porto Garibaldi. The origin of this name according to historians derives from the Latin term "Maliabiccum" which is a place suitable for grazing cows. In the Chronic Parva of Ferrara (1180/1264) this village is called Cajavaccae or Majavaccae, in the statute of the same city it is indicated with the name of Portum Maiavache. Other hypotheses refer to the term "Magna-vacua", a large area of water or a vast area of land without crops

A new growth for the Po delta
The Po river is the largest Italian river, has a length of 650 km and drains the waters of 70,091 km2. The sediments carried by the river towards the Adriatic Sea have created one of the largest Delta systems in the whole Mediterranean. The Po Delta is considered relatively young (4 - 5 ky) and can be defined as a Delta dominated by both natural and anthropic processes. Since 1950 the Delta has been subject to a rapid degradation of the coast line due also to a reduction
The relationship between man and environment in the Po Delta Biosphere
The Po delta has achieved the important UNESCO MAB recognition not only for its undoubted environmental characteristics, but also for the balance that has characterized the relationship between man and the environment over the centuries, primarily through the anthropic activities that have allowed the survival of man in these places: fishing, fish farming, shellfish farming. In fact, by definition the UNESCO MAB Biosphere Reserves develop a commitment to sustainable development by identifying areas, terrestrial, coastal and marine ecosystems in which, through appropriate land management as well as socio-economic development, it is committed
