State nature reserve since 1979, the salt flats of Cervia in the province of Ravenna are traversed by any number of stunning nature trails, and are a favorite destination among birdwatchers. Not to be missed: the trip to the Salt Museum, housed in a 17th century edifice once used as a salt store; and the boat journey to the Camillone salt flat, the only remaining seasonal salt flat in the Cervia salt marsh.

The international touring exhibition, “Otium Ludens – Stabiae, heart of the Roman Empire“, currently on show in Ravenna, brings back to life some of the ancient Romans’ most sumptuous coastal villas, with a breathtaking display of detached murals, wall paintings, and artefacts from the 9 residences constructed in the town of Stabiae – arguably the most magnificent of all the summer seats of governance built on the Bay of Naples.
