DELTA 2000 finished a mini television series which promotes Excover destinations and it have been broadcasted on Icarus Ultra - a TV channel dedicated to sport. The series consists of 4 episodes called 10,000 steps in beauty, where fit-walking is a way to discover the beauty of the artistic and natural heritage of Po Delta Park. Each episode illustrates an itinerary of 10 thousand steps (about 7km), where the presenter meets some of the citizens involved in the project and talks about the natural and cultural heritage while engaging in sport activities.
In Alfonsine there is the itinerary of about 7 kilometres along the banks of the Senio river, a symbolic place of the Resistance during World War II, where you can admire the wonderful sunsets of Boscoforte, discover the secrets of the mysterious Casa del Diavolo and imagine the daily life of the women of the Resistance by visiting the house where the movie “Agnes goes to die” was shot. L'Agnese va a morire, internationally released as And Agnes Chose to Die, is a 1976 Italian drama film directed by Giuliano Montaldo based on a novel of the same name by Renata Viganò.
There are several thematic routes dedicated to the Resistance in lowlands and swamps around Alfonsine and Comacchio, important to understand and identify people, places and events related to the Second World War’ local history and the Resistance. Next to Agnese’s house, the owner of the property, has created a very singular and bizarre Kitsch museum. She affirms that behind every object there is a sentimental story, a heart that has welcomed it, has chosen it as a symbol of desire, of a journey or a memory linked to an affection. More than 3500 objects collected in 30 years put on display in an old farmhouse next to Casa del Diavolo and Casa dell'Agnese.
On the other side, there is the Vallette di Ostellato and a ring of about 8 kilometres, where everyone can regenerate their mind, eliminate stress and increase creativity. There you can find a remnant of the ancient Mezzano valleys, is a naturalistic oasis about 10 km long where land and water coexist in perfect harmony, making it the ideal place for walking, hiking, birdwatching, sport fishing and nature photography.
While walking, it is possible to admire the sculpture park CieloStellato, that consists of 21 big sculptures located in the natural reserve. The sculptures were included in the park through the realisation of a three-year program, a Sculpture Symposium from 1998 to 2000. Sky and stars are the themes that inspired the artists, who created works so different from each other and with both contemporary and traditional materials. A walk in the Sculpture Park is an essential part of the Vallette Natural Reserve experience year-round. This is where you can really see how the buildings blend into the landscape. Of the 21 sculptures in the park, some are remarkable and easily distinguished, others are almost hidden or blending into the surroundings in an almost mysterious way. The special interplay with nature, the view, the weather and the changing of the seasons makes for totally different experiences of the same figures.
