Trepponti, Comacchio
Comacchio, Italy
A 17th-century bridge with five staircases meeting over the canals of Comacchio, a lagoon town famous for eels. Boat trips run into the Comacchio wetlands, home to flamingos.
The Trepponti is the emblem of Comacchio, the "little lagoon town" on the Po Delta. The 17th-century bridge was built for Cardinal Giovan Battista Pallotta to a design by Luca Danese of Ravenna, which is why it is also called Ponte Pallotta. Five broad flights of steps lead up to the bridge; it originally served as a fortified gate into the town and as the entrance to its inner canal network. Access is free, and the light is loveliest in the early morning or late afternoon.
The old town, with its canals and bridges, is best explored on foot. Marinated eel from the Valli di Comacchio is a Slow Food Presidium and is presented at the Manifattura dei Marinati. In the Valli, which cover more than 13,000 hectares, guided boat trips let you watch flamingos and other waterbirds. Spring and autumn are considered the ideal seasons; summer is hot and crowded.
