Boretto, a riverside town resting on the right bank of the Po, was once a pivotal hub for trade within the Venetian Republic. Traces of that connection are still visible in the town square, where visitors can admire the Basilica of San Marco and a column bearing the Lion of Saint Mark, donated by the city of Venice.

Crossing the road that departs from the square, you will reach the best-equipped Fluvial Tourist Harbour in the region: here travelers can choose the navigation option that suits them best (see the R.O.B.IN. project).

Besides sailing or canoeing, you can follow the VenTo cycle route and see the first Big Bench installed along the Po riverbanks.

Also noteworthy are the Water Museums: by appointment, it is possible to visit the Casa dei Pontieri (Pontieri’s House), the Museo multimediale della Bonifica (Land Reclamation Multimedia Museum), the Museo del Po e della Navigazione (River Po and Navigation Museum) - all located along Via Argine Cisa.

Moreover, Boretto is home to the “Belvedere” House-Museum, which preserves a collection of works by painter and writer Pietro Ghizzardi (1906-1986), considered one of the first exponents of 20th-century art brut.
