The Old PortGualtieri
In the Po floodplain, there are places known only to those fishermen and boatmen who explore the river bends. One of these places is the “Porto Vecchio” (old port), where nowadays it is possible to find the wreck of a tugboat and two small boats (bettoline), later bombed by an allied plane in spring 1944.

our food

Mostarda
The river Po is placed in an area of ancient borders, transit for armies, and also represented a passageway for pilgrims from north to south. It is a land of cultural and gastronomic contamination where food acquires a specific identity through its own flavour.

Onion
Onion – whose scientific name is Allium cepa – has ancient roots, given the fact that records date back to ancient Egypt, where it began to be cultivated, in the 4th millennium B.C.

The Zucchella Plum
The Zucchella Plum is a small and firm, but also really juicy fruit. The origin of its name seems to derive from this last characteristic, which could be defined as “Suchéla”.

Pike
The waters of the river Po have been inhabited by this fish for so long that Luzzara ended up being named after it. In the past, the town was known as Luciara, which indeed derived from the word Luccio (Pike).

Watermelon
The fresh, sweet and thirst-quenching Anguria Reggiana Igp is one of the most appreciated fruits in the Reggio Emilia plain in summer, so as to obtain the Protected Geographical Indication label due to its unique qualities.

Honey
Honey has always been one of the typical products of the Bassa Reggiana territories.

Pumpkin
Pumpkin is a typical vegetable of the Bassa Reggiana lands, with many different varieties.

Balsamic Vinegar
One of the gastronomic excellences of the territory is represented by the Traditional Balsamic Vinegar, a historical product already mentioned by the Benedictine monk Abate Donizone in 1046, in his literary composition “Vita Mathildis”.

Catfish
Catfish is a typical species of stagnant or slow-flowing waters characterized by a soft and muddy seabed. It is also able to adapt to extreme conditions, in warm and low-oxygen water. For these reasons, as well as for the sapidity of its meat, it is bred in extensive fish farming ponds.
