p until the end of the lastcentury, there were only sand

dunes, pinewoods, beds of reedsand sandy isles here. Now besidesthe natural aspects that continue tobe respected and enchanting -there is a new type of buzzing life.You can feel it immediately, in theair, in something, that makes theatmosphere electric and almost toyour amazement, hidden cornersare discovered where the mostimportant thing is the peace andtranquillity. An oasis whererelaxation can be married to everytype of entertainment: this is theessence of Lignano, which wascreated at the beginning of the1900s as a special holiday area.Eight kilometres of fine and goldensandy beach and a tranquil sea -half way between Venice and Trieste

- that have been proud to fly theenvironmental blue flag for years.This coastline which from theTagliamento river mouth projectsout to the east becoming a pointprotecting Aprilia Marittima andthe Marano Lagoon, in factencloses three resorts, whichaccommodate thousands of boatmoorings. Lignano Sabbiadoro is thehistorical centre, with a wealth ofrestaurants, open-air bars andshops. It can also boast boutiques,amusement arcades, pubs anddiscotheques.It is overseen by the elegant“Terrazza a mare” where you cantake a walk in an atmospheresuspended over the blue sea.Lignano Pineta is caressed by theshade offered by the gardens andcrossed over by the elegant

avenues, the fruit of remarkablespiral urban architecture, designedby the architect Marcello D’Olivo.Here, it is the greenery that speaks,as well as every type of comfort.We then have Lignano Riviera, themost relaxing area immersed inrich vegetation that expresses itselfthrough the rustling leaves in themaritime pinewoods.

Lignano invites you.It invites you to take care of yourbody, to restore it with open-airactivities by offering a wide rangeof opportunities. You can do sporton the beach thanks to sportscentres with excellent instructorsfor swimming, sailing, windsurfand kite surf.

You could takepart in a fun game of beach volley.You could even discover yourself tobe a golf enthusiast on the 18-hole

golf course, which is open all yearround, and which offers one of themost beautiful routes overlookingthe sea. Then for bicycle loverswe have a number of differentitineraries that go deep into thefragrant pinewoods and offerenchanting glimpses of the lagoonor lead you to the TagliamentoRiver where you could admirethe red sunsets.

Lignano is a large “park”overlooking the sea, whichexpresses itself through manydifferent parks where you canliterally “project yourself” intoother worlds. Such as the “ParcoZoo” - a Green Promontory, azoological garden with more than1500 animals from 250 differentspecies coming from all over theworld. Alternatively, Aquasplash,one of the first Italian water parkswith breakneck slides and largeswimming pools.

Or Gulliverland, an amusementpark for all ages.Perhaps you would like Strabiliaa super amusement park withsparkling lights and a sought-afterdestination for all those looking forstrong emotions. There is only oneproblem which you may come upagainst in the “Gommosi” locatedin the Parco Junior - and that istrying to drag your children away…

Not to be missedLignano is a host of events.Beginning with the arena, thecentrepiece of summer concertswith leading artists. Then thereare the special events, such asthe International SculptureSymposium that takes place in Mayand where the public can have thechance to help the artists with theirchisels and blocks of stone.The sculptures created during thesymposium are on show in the“Parco del Mare” alongside thosesculpted by Luciano Ceschia andSimon Benetton. At the end ofOctober on the other hand, thereis “Nautilia” which takes placein Aprilia Marittima, a nauticalexhibition of second-hand boats- and the only one in Italy wherethey can be seen on dry land - withnumerous exhibitors andinternational visitors taking part.

To tasteLignano is a young resort being lessthan a century old. However, it issupported by Marano, where theday-to-day life has always beenarticulated by fishing and maritimecuisine. From Marano it inheritedthe “brodetto” a dish where the fishhas its bones removed and is thensieved - as opposed to other areasof Italy where the fish is left inslices. In days gone by, whenresources were low, this operationallowed even “pesce povero” (poorman’s fish) to be used, this was fullof bones but also full of flavour.The brodetto should be served withbread croutons. There are manyrestaurants where it is possible tomoor your boat and where you canfind these seafood specialities.

A regenerating stopoverDeep within a centuries-oldpinewood in the Riviera resort,you can find the Lignano ThermalSpas, which are housed withina modern and elegant building,where you can benefit from bothtraditional and innovative services.As well as being cosseted in thebeauty centre.

here it is, down there,can’t you see its bell-tower

standing out? “Ages-old” thepeople here describe it, moreto underline its importance thanto give a precise age. Sailing infrom far away, you can see itpeeping out in this raised place,which can be seen as anindependent world.Beginning with its secludedposition, between the last pointof the Lignano coast and Grado’sLagoon, protected from the opensea by a series of small islandssuch as Martignano andSant’Andrea, also known as ShellIsland. Up until the end of the

1800s, it was surrounded by thecity wall and in the 1500s noteven the Turks were able to getthrough. The Venetian Republicwho governed this land from the1400s until the end of the1700s tried to hold on to it.The local people are still grateful:the Serenissima respected localautonomy and the people fromMarano are still proud of the factthat they are the only Friuliantown where the Venetian dialectis still spoken.However, it is not only withlinguistic and cultural links thatVenice has left its mark - it hasalso left Marano its strongarchitectural imprint.The old town is a continualsuccession of “calli”, narrowalleys, and squares onto whichhouses were built, developinginto meeting places and outdoorwork places.The buildings are decorated withnick-knacks which each tell anancient tale: basso-rilievo,exposed stone, coats of arms.The life of the people of Maranohas always been articulated by

the lagoon; on this moor, whichwas one of the poorest in Friuli,it was always treated with thegreatest respect, even when itsfish was the main source ofsustenance.Today, whilst the fishing boatsventure out into the sea, itheralds a more substantial booty;and young people continue tobe grateful to their elders.Because the lagoon has rewardedthis attention becomingbeautiful, so beautiful in factthat it is protected by tworegional natural parks.Together with the lagoon inGrado, its lagoon is the mostnorthern of all the Mediterranean.Most of its canals are natural;man has only put the mooringposts that mark out the way.

If you happen to come acrossa “dama” or “lady”, be carefulnot to loose your compass: foryou are in front of a mooring postmade up of five posts indicatinga new canal.

The regional Stella River mouthnature reserve opens into thelagoon here and cannot bereached by land. Water is theonly way to get to the StellaRiver’s delta, where you cango upstream to Preceniccoand Palazzolo.

Leaving the boat in a marina, youcould visit the area with specialtourist boats. In this way you willenter an exceptional microcosm,a real paradise for nature lovers,amongst beds of reeds which runalongside the river bed, here youcan find marsh falcons, royalswans, as well as red, grey andwhite herons.From one of the most evocativebranches of the delta, there is amotorboat route often taken bytourists looking to discover thelagoon entering the last rivermouth.

Here a spectacle of rare beautyopens up before your very eyes- a village of “casoni” orfishermen’s cottages. These arebuildings made of reeds and wood,guarding a fireplace in the centreand furnished with the minimumto safeguard survival. You willnotice that these huts all look tothe west - which is the side thatis less exposed to the bora andnorthern winds. A wooden jettynowadays allows you to dock there.

Not to be missedA procession of boats on thelagoon’s waters, keeping a14th century ritual alive. On June 15th (or the Sundayimmediately after) every year,the San Vito procession takesplace in San Vito (San Vio),which began in order to wardoff the dangers which thefishermen have to face and tocommemorate those who havelost their lives in the sea. Getting onto a boat and takingpart in the procession is a highlyemotional experience.

To tasteThis is a land, which liveson fishing. Over the centuriestherefore, great skill has beenachieved in cooking entire menusbased on fish. However, thereis a special dish that you shouldtry called “el bisato in spéo”,spit-roasted eel. The best time totaste it is over Easter (when thesea eel comes up the river) andin autumn (when it returns backto the sea).However, throughout the year(except August) it really is adelicious dish, which foreseesa long cooking period.Unlike other areas, here theeel is cut into pieces, skeweredtogether with pieces of breadand laurel leaves onto woodenskewers (the best would betamarisk or hazel wood).

A training schoolfor birdwatchersAnother suspended backdrop,just a short distance fromMarano’s residential centre

is the Valle Canal Novo Regionalnature Reserve, made from aformer fishing valley. The visitingcentre’s buildings have beencreated by maintaining thetraditional typology of the localcasoni. They are used as servicebuildings, restaurants, as wellas educational and environmentalobservation points.Moreover, thanks to theaquarium, you can get to knowthe numerous organisms thatpopulate the lagoon environment.

Did you know?

Even the lagoon has its main“road” - it is the “LitoranaVeneta”, the commercial channelthat unites Venice with theIsonzo River for more than onehundred kilometres. On thejunctions, there are mooringposts with real road signs.Turning off from the main “road”,we enter the tangle of canalswhere only the experts knowhow to find their way around.

maze of small islands revealsits grace. Breathe in the

atmosphere of these placesmodelled by the tides, whereevery day and at every hour,colours invent new shades andthe birds outline concerts thathave never been heard before,this is a unique experience which

should be tasted wholeheartedly.Getting closer to the Lagoon inGrado, known as the golden Isle,whose praises were sung by thepoet, Biagio Marin, means entering

into a universe where nature hascreated an unpublished language,through a tightly woven maze ofcanals and “rios”, which lap overthe small islands with their thrivingvegetation. Then we discover thathistory also plays a leading rolehere. The ancient Romans andVenetians have left invaluabletraces here. Moreover, there arereligious routes that have veryancient origins, such as the Mariansanctuary of the Isola di Barbana,which is one of the busiest in Italy.The ideal way to discover theselands is to abandon yourself toa “slow wandering without anyparticular destination” suggestswriter Claudio Magris.

Grado is an island, which is linkedto the mainland by a very thin stripof land, secluded and narrowaround its old Venetian style towncentre, which holds authenticjewels such as the early Christiancathedral made even more preciousby the elegant geometries of floormosaics and the octagonal shapedbaptistery. In addition, the SantaMaria delle Grazie Basilica, which

perhaps was inspired by Syriacmodels and is defined as a “veryprecious incunabula of earlyChristian architecture”.Crossing the “campielli” (smallVenetian square) and walkingthrough the narrow alleys of theold town, overlooked by the oldfishermen’s houses, which areclosely knit one with the other,it will be easy to imagine thempopulated by merchants, just likethose who at one time arrived inthe port on large sailing shipsladen with amphora.The beaches, on the other hand,are furnished as an elegant sittingroom with quality services, andattention being paid to comfortand the safety of young children,who can take long swims in thelow, clean and ever-calm waters. Specially equipped babysittingand play areas are also on hand. The writer, Ippolito Nievo, wasone of the first frequent visitors

of these shores, and it was afavourite holiday destination of theHapsburg aristocracy, who camefor the swimming and the valuablemarine spas up until the endof the 1800s.

Did you know?

At the beginning of the 1200s,the people from Grado made avotive offering to the Madonnadi Barbana in order that sheput an end to the terribleplague, which had hit the town.Their prayers were answeredand since that day, every firstSunday in July the fascinating“Perdòn di Barbana” festival iscelebrated. An evocative procession ofboats, decorated with flowers,garlands and flags reaches theMarian Sanctuary of the Isoladi Barbana to absolve thetown’s ancient votive.Following a Mass, theprocession returns to Gradoamongst song, prayer and afestive tolling of the bells.

Spas - that have been recentlyrenovated and equipped withan area dedicated to medicinalaesthetics, offer an articulateprogramme from thalassic therapyto the prevention of skin ageing.

Enchanting walks can be takenfrom the lighthouse point, in thepursuit of spectacular sunsets,until you reach the Pineta pinewooddistrict, where theclose-knit shade makes your stayat the seaside more relaxing andenjoyable. Successively, betweengame of beach volley, basketballand five-a-side football, windsurf,sailing, water-skiing and canoeing -everyone can choose their ownparticular sport. Completing theoffer is a round of 18-holes of golf,on the very green fairways andsky-blue waters. On the other hand,you could take a trip alongattractive cycle paths which landin magical nature reserves.

The ancient Romans studiedeverything in minute detail.Grado was to have been a marinesuburb of Aquileia, fortified -a castrum of which the only thingremaining today are the impressivefoundations - where the largestships were to have unloaded theirgoods onto smaller boats: otherwisethey wouldn’t have been able to getaround the tightly knit islands inthe lagoon and go upstream viathe Natissa river to Aquileia.Nevertheless, once they arrivedhere, they would have discoveredthe secrets of the second Rome.

As Aquileia was called at the timeof the Roman Empire: then it wasa strategic point for trade with theDanubian countries, nowadays it isthe heritage of humanity protectedby UNESCO and one of the mostimportant archaeological sites inItaly. It should be discovered eitherindependently or by following aguided route, to taste the charm ofthe Roman forum’s colonnade, thepatriarchal basilica, the Romanhouses and remains of the riverport, where goods from all overthe Mediterranean came together.There is also the nationalarchaeological Museum which holdssome of the most important Romanfinds in northern Italy.

To tasteIt is well known that island folkare different, and follow their owntraditions. Well, this also happensin the kitchen. Even with the “dishof dishes” from Grado the “boreto ala graisàna”. Those who think that itis a simple fish soup are mistakenas this is for all intents andpurposes a second-course dish -cooked with turbot or with a mixtureof fish and matched with whitepolenta. It is one of the few kindsof bouillabaisse, if not the only onewhere tomato is not used.The use of black pepper, whichwas once very precious, bringsus back to the ancient links withByzantium or to the contrabandwith the pirates who horded it fromVenetian galleys…

Not to be missedThe Ospiti d’Autore (distinguishedguests) Festival dedicated tomaster musiciansas well as the Puppet Festival,one of the most importantEuropean figure theatrereferences. LagunaMovies, aninternational film review withshows and meetings on thelagoon: everything, in Grado,makes summer unique.

At full sailThe last week of June, the“Graisana” takes place onthe golden isle, an appointmentdedicated to yachting withregattas open to national andinternational teams. In thiscontext is the “Regata de lebatele”, a rowing boat race usingthe historic fishermen’s boats.The cherry on the cake is a richcultural menu of food and wineevents.

Around the town the “Parcotematico della Grande Guerra”(Great War Theme Park) isparticularly moving where you canimmerge yourself in the periodbetween 1915 and 1918 and walkalong the trenches and walkways.Beginning from the sacrarium inRedipuglia, which with its onehundred thousand fallen soldiersis the biggest First World Warmemorial in Europe.

From the imposing stairwaycreated in white Karst stone, youcan undertake the journey backin time. The top of the Sacrariumis connected to an observatory toenable you to identify the manyGreat War Battle Grounds.

To tasteIt is not only the fish that enrichesFriuli Venezia Giulia’s cuisine, butalso the shellfish and molluscs.Moreover, amongst the latter animportant position is held bycuttlefish, which come up to thecoast in springtime - after thefishermen have captured themwith gill nets and creels, they aretaken to market whilst still alive. The best season to taste themcontinues well into the summer.Alongside the cuttlefish, soups andsalads are prepared and pastas andrisottos are made with the sepia. A traditional recipe is the “seppiein umido” (stewed cuttlefish).

The charm of a specialkind of environment The Karst is a landscape thatis particular to itself, harsh andfascinating, mysterious andresolute, where valleys are dottedwith smoke tree bushes andthorny shrubs such as juniper. At the centre of this particularsetting, not far from Monfalcone,we can find the Doberdò andPietrorossa Lakes nature reserve,whose basins were formed thanksto singular geologicalphenomenon.The Doberdò basin is one ofthe few examples of a Karstlake in Europe.

yths and ancient legends echopersuasively in the land that

looks at the sea from above. A land that has inspired poets,musicians and writers.Here, where the White Lady speaksto you about her wicked husbandwho threw her from the wall of anancient castle. However, the skytook pity on her, by giving her abody of rock before she smashedagainst the cliffs.

Such as the“Villaggio del Pescatore”(Fisherman’s village), a little marinehamlet where it is not unheard ofto catch sight of anchored fishingboats, with their crew cleaning fishor repairing their nets.

The White Lady, whose legendindissolubly links to the remainsof the ancient manor house, whichis dedicated to the cult of the Sungod, is not the only beauty to befound in Duino. Up there, is alookout over one of the mostenchanting stretches of coastline inall of the high Adriatic., castled ona spur of rock which descends in asheer drop to the sea, in fact, DuinoCastle appears in all its beauty, acomposite and massive building,over which its sixteenth centurytower stands out resting on atwo-thousand year old foundation.In addition, it is around this tower,on the ruins of a Roman outpost,that the building of the currentcastle were built, not far from theold one. It is still inhabited bythe Torre e Tasso (Thurn und Taxis)princes who have maintained thedistinguished appearance of thebuilding, which over time hashosted such illustrious people asMark Twain, Gabriele D’Annunzio,as well as the musicians Liszt andStrauss.

n elegant “outpost” forthe town of Trieste, which

announces the town’s beauty.Moreover, in the same way,protecting itself from the sea

with its candid grace is the Castellodi Maramare an eclectic buildingbuilt in the middle of the 1800s.In order to reach it you can mooryour boat - when the weatherpermits it - on the external jettyof the little port of Grignano.

Here you cross a set of steps andenter the enchanting MiramarePark, where plants and trees fromall over the world have beenplanted. You then come to the castle, whichwas the backdrop of the love storybetween Charlotte of Belgium andthe Archduke Maximillian ofHapsburg, which was interruptedby the nobleman’s tragic deathin Mexico. Inside, you will admirethe private apartments, the guestrooms, the rich library and themagnificent throne room withportraits of the Hapsburg family. At the foot of the headland, isMiramare’s natural marina Reserve,which was the first marine park tobe instituted in Italy, and whereyou can go deep-sea diving andtake guided tours of seawatching. In the summer time, the reserveorganises excursions into the gulfso that you can get to know the“lampara” fishing by lamplight.

After Miramare, the coast opensup completely and is all for theirlady: Trieste, the Central European“marine” queen, which is foretoldby the spirit of its people. People

who welcome every opportunity tolive the sea, and who populate theBarcola Riviera - with its beachesand kiosks - sunbathing, divinginto the sea or taking a simplewalk. Just after Barcola, up onhigh towards the Karst headland,you will notice a large lighthouse:this is the “Faro della Vittoria”(Victory Lighthouse), whichbesides illuminating the gulf andaiding the navigators, is also acommemorative memorialdedicated to the sailors who losttheir lives in the First World War.Successively we arrive in the heartof the city - yes, because in Trieste

the sea actually seems to enterthe built-up areas; a sea in whichelegant Hapsburg buildings almostmirror themselves. You are in thecity of literature, of many religiouscults, cafés, of art and science.A city that holds the charmingpiazza dell’Unità d’Italia, one of themost beautiful and largest squaresin the world overlooking the sea. Trieste with its many faces - youcan lose yourself amongst the

antique shops in the little sidealleys in the “città vecia” and inthe jewish ghetto on the streetsof borgo teresiano; taste the bestcoffee mixes or delicious presnitzin the cake shops where JamesJoyce used to go, or recognisethe footpaths and atmospheresdescribed by Italo Svevo andUmberto Saba.

Then you could discover thesynagogue, the Greek-Orthodoxand Serb-Orthodox churches, theEvangelical Lutheran Church aswell as the Swiss and Waldensianones. Then on to the Basilica andSan Giusto Castle, which can befound on a hill that boasts anincomparable view over the gulf.

Not to be missedEvery year, on the second Sundayof October the Barcolana takesplace in the gulf of Trieste, aninternational regatta, which overthe years has become the

competition with the largestnumber of participants in theMediterranean. The scene thatit offers is an incredible paletteof colour, with more than twothousand boats colouring the sea.

To taste Anchovies are the most commonfish in the Gulf of Trieste. Herethey are known as “sardoni” andare either fried, breaded or “insavor” that is fried and marinatedwith vinegar and onion. This recipehas ancient origins - the savor from Trieste was created from thenecessity to preserve the enormousquantities of “pesce azzuro”(mackeral, sardines and anchovies)fished in the gulf, when there

If you hear a man from Triestesay that he is going to the“bagno”, don’t think him to beof little taste. Going the “bagno”in Trieste is like saying going tothe sea. In addition, in the city,it is the only “bagno” - that isthe only bathing establishment -in Europe with separate areasfor men and women.

n the last strip of Italy, thecoast seems to fold in on

itself. Here the Bay of Muggiaopens up and is the only Istriantown that has remained under Italy.Arriving in the picturesque dock,it seems like you are almost goinginto the “calli” narrow streets andlittle squares. Moreover, you willimmediately be immerged in anenchanting atmosphere that isclearly built in the Venetian mould.Not only the architecture but thedialect, the customs and the foodand wine traditions too, an intensepast shared with the Serenissimafilters through.

Looking out to sea, the whitestones of Istria and its colouredhouses create a harmonious wholealongside the verdant Karst hills. Framing it are seven kilometres of coastline and a crown of hills,which panoramically dominate thevast area, both on the Italian andon the Slovenian side. Before the year 1000, the marinadeveloped in a valley in a littletown that was called Borgolauro- from this new hamlet, in the1200s, the town of Muggiacame about. From this time thecathedral and town hall remain,being rebuilt in the 1900s. But up there, high on theheadland overlooking the port,one speaks of a more ancienthistory - there is even evidenceof the proto-historic fortifiedhamlets of Santa Barbara and

Muggia’s old town, MuggiaVecchia, with its romanic basilica(Santa Maria dell’Assunta, 9thcentury), the only evidence, apartfrom the ruins of the old walls,of its Roman and medieval past. From here, you can enjoy amagnificent view over the Gulf ofTrieste. The Castle in Muggia, onthe other hand, dates back to the1300s, even though it has beenreshaped over the centuries. Once it crowned the circleof walls around the town. The curious thing is that theinhabitants of Muggia havelittle by little used its originalsandstone blocks of stone inorder to build their own houses. Still today, a special kind of airis breathed in this part of theworld, walking in thecharacteristic “calli” narrowstreets and in the splendidMarconi Square which is thethrobbing heart of the town,or stopping in the Mandracchioto watch the fishermen working. Moreover, in the surroundingareas, there are the comfortableand shady bathing establishments.

The little marina in SanBartolomeo is very charming. Mooring your boat, by taxi youcould reach Val Rosandra, whichis of a very high naturalistic valueand which extends in a valleybeside Muggia. For trekkinglovers, there is an 18 kilometreroute that goes from the Istria-venetian town (p32 arriving in thePremuda Refuge, at the gates ofthe valley. Leaving from piazzaMarconi, it goes up to the hamlet

Did you know?

Muggia’s Town hall isdecorated with a lion thatis a clear reminder of theSerenissima. It does, however,have a peculiarity: it isclutching a closed book, tohide the word pax, which inthese lands was always a risk.The Hapsburgs were not ableto conquer Muggia and itshistory is shared betweenIstria and Venice and notwith imperial Trieste.

of Santa Barbara coming out ona special pathway onto the ViaAlpina circuit, touching SanDorligo della Valle and then ontothe refuge. Here you will discover a landscapeand animal life that is theexpression of a contact areabetween the alpine territory andthe sea, and there is even aRoman aqueduct built to supplyTergeste water to ancient Trieste.

The Val Rosandra was createdthanks to the erosionphenomenon provoked by theRosandra torrent, a fascinatingwaterway that flows in aparticularly fast-flowing course. It advances quickly along steepslopes forming small cascades,transparent water wells andgentle flow. There is even a 36-metre waterfall. The valleyexpresses itself with white and

imposing faces, which are thegoal of many sportsmen andclimbers. Its practice rock wallis famous with its climbingcourses of different levels ofdifficulty.Numerous itineraries leadexcursionists to discoverthe caves with their ancientinscriptions, ruins of ancientcastles and walled hamlets,running alongside streamsand places where you can enjoyan extraordinary view of the Gulfof Trieste. Moreover, on the former railwaytrack there is now a cycle andpedestrian path.

Not to be missedAn explosion of colours andhappiness and a very warminvolvement. The Carnival of Muggia,which in local dialect is calledCarneval mujesan, is one ofthe oldest in Italy - it was firstdocumented in the 1400s. The event involves the entirepopulation with the decorationof allegorical floats and thecreation of the sumptuouscostumes for the procession.

To tasteIn Muggia dishes are preparedwhich can be linked back toIstrian and sometimesDalmation, Venetian andTriestan traditions. Amongst these, seafood cookeryoccupies the first place. Try the “scampi a la busara”,cooked with tomato and

malvasia istriano. They areserved either in the containerthey are cooked in or inindividual earthenware bowls,together with slices of polentaor toasted homemade bread.

A Regatta without frontiersbetween Italy and SloveniaEvery year in June, a large eventembellishes Muggia’s coastline- a sailing regatta Muggia-Portorose-Muggia -Three Gulfinternational - with an outlineof entertainment and wine andfood products, as well as musicand folklore.
