Valli di Comacchio

The Comacchio lagoon area was divided into four districts, each comprising a major and several minor stations. Located on the eastern bank of the Ungola Canal, Casone Pegoraro was one of the minor fishing stations. Popular tradition associates the name of this fishing hute with the arrival of shepherds with their flocks who stayed inside the casone at Christmas time. First evidence of Casone Pegoraro in maps dated 1628.

The lavoriero is historically linked to Comacchio and its Lagoons.
A system that has been gradually perfected over the centuries, it consists of a succession of intercommunicating enclosures that allow for the differentiated fishing at the stations. Initially, the walls were constructed of one or more layers of marsh cane, called arelle or grisole, arranged in a V-shape and driven into the ground supported by wooden poles.At the point where the walls were converted, the nassa, a bottle-shaped fishing tool, was inserted, later replaced by a net of reeds, first square or circular and then arrow-shaped. The modern trap, on the other hand, has reinforced concrete walls.

The construction of the Casone Donnabona, appears to have originated before 1628. Situated on the canal of the Fosse-Foce reclamation, the state of delivery of 1843 describes it as a house distinguishable in two pots, which was also attributed the purpose of shelter and maintenance for boats.The characteristic name seems to derive from folk tales: it is said that some women would go to the guardians of the Casone to cheer them up during the long days of work.
Casone Donnabona hosts temporary themed photographic exhibitions. The evocative setting with traditional clothes, furniture and tools evokes the atmosphere once breathed by the men of the Comacchio Lagoons.

Casone Serilla was one of the great fishing stations, at the head of the homonymous lagoon district. The importance of the station was due to the size of the fishing basin, the quantity of the fish and the various work activities carried out there.In front of Casone Serilla  is situated its Tabarra, a place where tools and objects for fishing and working were built, repaired and stored.
