With an extension of over 11,000 hectares (approx. 11,400 ha), the Valli di Comacchio constitute the largest complex of brackish wetlands in Italy. Bounded to the south by the Reno River and to the north by lands resulting from the reclamation that has affected the area over the centuries, the valley complex includes the Valli Fossa di Porto, Lido di Magnavacca, Campo, Fattibello, Capre and Molino. To these are added Valle Zavelea, Pega and Umana, relics of valleys now reclaimed. Recognized as a Wetland of International Importance on 13 July 1981 pursuant to the Convention on wetlands of importance, especially as a habitat for aquatic birds signed in Ramsar on 2 February 1971, the Valli di Comacchio are also considered a Site of Community Importance SIC and a Special Protection Area SPA. In 2015, as part of the Man and Biosphere MAB programme, UNESCO recognised the entire area of the Po Delta Park as a Biosphere Reserve.

The area is occupied by a large green space surrounded by ancient buildings, among which the building from the early 1900s, home to the primary school, stands out, opposite the police barracks, once a hospital and in the center stands the monument to the fallen of the First World War World in white Carrara marble, built with the contribution of citizens and inaugurated on 28 March 1923. In 1942 the beautiful monument was stripped of the bronze winged Victory and the wrought iron gate, the work of a talented blacksmith from Portu, to be offered to the homeland in war; the same fate also befell the fence of the nearby school building.

Protected wetland of 52 hectares, it constitutes a residual strip of the great Mezzano valleys The bends are home to two important wildlife reintroduction projects: the Wild Goose and the White Stork. In fact, the site hosts some aviaries for their reproduction, however some ducks are currently free to fly and nest in the oasis and therefore easily sightable. The flora is composed mostly of aquatic plants, such as water gentians and buttercups, as well as the marsh reeds that delimit the valley mirrors.

The Oasis of the Vallette of Ostellato is what remains of the ancient valleys that surrounded the town, spared from the last reclamation of the Mezzano valley and today an oasis of wildlife protection. They consist of 4 valley loops which constitute a biotope of a wetland of fresh water. In the Vallette there are 150 species of aquatic birds, nesting. You can see all kinds of herons, the great white, the gray and the red, numerous waders, including the Black-winged stilt, birds of prey, such as the marsh harrier, the buzzard. The vegetation is typical of freshwater wetlands, characterized in the permanently flooded areas by reeds, white and yellow water lilies, flowering rush. On the banks there are white willow, water chestnut and elderberry. The Oasis is well equipped for various activities such as bird watching, walking, cycling and horseback riding, sport fishing. At the entrance there is also an astronomical observatory. N.B. I would add a negative note: the final part of the Oasis is closed and not usable for about 6 km of path and there is an access price to the Oasis for both walking and cycling of € 2 per person. Apart from the cost of the ticket which would certainly be worth the price for the beauty of the area, it is not acceptable to find rotten and decaying unused wooden bridges and piers with closed routes due to general neglect.
