19/03/2024: A pleasant Sunday in March with the family, lunch directly on the beach, excellent seafood dishes and a young house wine... recommended
24/01/2024: I invite everyone to visit this wonderful seaside town to which I belong by birth!
Only in Viale Roma has the Ancient Beauty been distorted.
Beautiful ladies returned here for the summer holidays, from Rome, Milan, Turin, reclaiming their villas.
You could see them young and beautiful on a bicycle, in a sea-green silk shirtdress, in a straw basket, in high-heeled clogs, with brown hair blowing in the wind, reaching the beach at Bagno Italia, one of the few.
I left Cervia, a delightful town and my 18th century Liberty Villa in the 1960s,
Returned after years and was shocked by how the municipality had transformed Viale Roma into a variety of styles.
Where my Villa was, a Small WHITE MIAMI Style Condominium. It is out of place when, in front, including the area of several Villas (Villa Josefina, Caporali, ASTRA Cinema..), a "TRAIN" Complex was erected in more plans (1970s?).
The TECHNICIANS of the Municipality are required to respect a REGULAR PLAN with Styles, Heights, Widths and Colors!!
CERVIA is a UNIQUE and RARE seaside town with the BISHOP'S Palace where, in the summer season, the Bishop of Ravenna stayed.
NATIVE from Cervia, related to the PANZAVOLTA family (uncle ODDONE is on the memorial stone under the town hall).
The bones of the first inhabitants were buried in the Gardens next to the Church and the skeleton of a PANZAVOLTA was found in the excavations!
The beauty. Fontana included a large POT with pulley which was stolen.
THE Square illuminated by beautiful 18th century LAMPS, Cluster Lights, which stood around the Square, inside the Aiuole, have been REMOVED..
The ancient flooring. it has been replaced by a Modern one with internal SPOTLIGHTS!!
By transforming everything into a STAGE for all Events they have overturned the Ancient Destination of a meeting place for Style.
While the ancient LIGHTHOUSE, the CANAL with the Bridge, the PORT, the TOWER, the SALT warehouse, the Borgo Marina and all around have been maintained and revalued EXCELLENTLY! BRAVI to the Municipality!
