San Leonardo Valley – a timeless world
Where time has stood still, the perfect balance between man and the environment
Valle San Leonardo
In the Po Delta Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and biosphere reserve, among the Wildlife Estates entities with an organic focus, certified for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
The nature
The plave where water, sea and land come together to create habitat and biodiversity
In the fishing valleys, the skilled hand of man regulates the salinity and turbidity of the water to favor vegetation. Here, prized fish species are raised, and numerous bird species, both migratory and non-migratory, nest or rest in the valley. Among these birds are ducks, which, at the end of autumn, arrive in the Po Delta valleys after a flight of nearly a thousand kilometers.
