  • By Bike Cycling in the Province of Ferrara
    By Bike Cycling in the province of Ferrara United Nations Ferrara, City of Educational, Scientific and the Renaissance Cultural Organization and its Po Delta A land for bikes “To ly like a bird: that’s the dream; to ride a bike: that’s today’s true pleasure. Young again, we become poets.” (Alfredo Oriani) What you are about to discover is a unique and exciting territory in which land routes and waterways meet and unwind in a landscape that extends beyond the horizon. A territory that unites the vast plains and the lush countryside of the Upper Side of Ferrara to the west with the waters and the sea of the Lower Side of Ferrara to the east: hospitable and welcoming, entrancing with its never-ending low, a feast for eyes, legs and mind. A place of art and imposing nature, the home of poets, writers, great engineers, architects and painters who illed the horizon with masterpieces and thoughts. The Este family loved these spaces so much they wanted to transform them into a single garden: an architectural project that redesigns the landscape, moulds it once again, populates it with new shapes and architectures and delivers it to immortality. The city of Ferrara, the cradle of Italian Renaissance together with all the ramiications of the Po Delta, constitutes one of the few European territories that UNESCO recognizes as a World Heritage Site in its entirety. Bicycles are the perfect tools to understand the territory of the province of Ferrara, in order to fully taste its nuances and characteristics: from Cento to Comacchio, from the hinterland to the sea, hundreds of miles over simply unrolling lat ground, easily reached albeit leaving great treasures behind.
