    Tips

    The port develops around an artificial canal, the Canale delle saline, which once had two functions: it connected the salt marshes to the sea, ensuring their production line, and was used to embark and export the salt produced by sea.



    Since 1445 the Marriage of the Sea is proposed again in Cervia. Legend has it that the rite is connected to the event that occurred when Pietro Barbo, Bishop of Cervia, on his return from Venice was surprised by a storm at sea and to appease it he gave the pastoral ring as a pledge to the waters, thus saving himself and the 'crew. Since then, every year, on the day of the Ascension, the blessing of the waters and the "marriage" with the sea are renewed: the Bishop throws the wedding ring into the open sea that a group of Cervesi boys have to find. Retrieving the ring is auspicious and promises good luck and prosperity.
