Trabocco Punta Torre

Highlight • Structure

The Punta Torre overflow is one of the few overflows still functioning for fishing and can also be visited. The caretaker welcomes people and explains how the overflow works and the positioning of the fishing nets.

Turtle Sculpture by Victor Fotso

Highlight • Monument

The work is visible on the Via Verde not far from the overflow Punta Tufano and the small port of Vallevò in the municipality of Rocca San Giovanni (CH).

The enigmatic and symbolic beached turtle was created by Victor Fotso in 2022 and installed on a rock lapped by the waves of the Adriatic Sea to symbolize a bridge of cultures, given that it bears on its carapace both the symbols of Rocca San Giovanni and those of Cameroon , native land. The ceramist's work was part of a group of works created for the third edition of "A breath of art - 20 artists for 20 villages". The animal that re-emerges from the waters, according to the artist's vision, carrying on its carapace everything it contains: remains of past civilizations and ancestral traditions, including African ones, seals the union between peoples and makes different daily lives synergistic but similar.

The location is one of the most beautiful stretches of the Trabocchi cycle path. The combination of tunnel, rocks and overflows make it suggestive. Right here, a few hundred meters away, the "D'Annunzio Hermitage" is projected towards the sea, also called "Hermitage of the Portelle" due to its location in the Portelle area, it owes its fame to the stay that the poet Gabriele D'Annunzio spent there , together with Barbara Leoni, in the summer of 1899. It is worth seeing it from the promontory and not from the cycle path.

Very nicely located and well-kept picnic area with several tables and a hammock. The view is fantastic, as you have the sea in front of your nose and you can also marvel at a beautiful trabucco (a stilt house set up for fishing).

Very close to this mural is the Christ of the Abyss. It is worth visiting.

Trabocco Pesce Palombo

Highlight • Structure

The trabocco was built almost a century ago, precisely in 1923 the Trabocco Pesce Palombo, located in Fossacesia Contrada la Penna in the “Fuggitelle” area.
The imposing construction made of Aleppo pine wood, a common tree throughout the middle Adriatic, resistant to saltiness and equipped with that elasticity, essential for resisting the gusts of the Mistral wind.
