Bologna is Middle Ages as much as Florence is Renaissance. Ravenna is Roman-Bizantine as much as Venice is Romantic... Italy is not only major city of arts that anybody knows. There's much to discover in Emilia-Romagna: Bologna with its museums and towers, Ravenna for its churches and mosaics but also little hamlets like Dozza, a real jewel hidden in the countryside...

| THE COMACCHIO WRECK
|
The Roman ship of Comacchio was discovered on the city outskirts near the initial section of the Water Collection Canal, the principal drainage channel of the Valle Ponti basin which was reclaimed between 1919 and 1922. The first clues of the vessel’s presence were revealed in the fall of 1980 (signalled by the Comacchio Archaeological Group) when, during dredging operations in the canal, several timber fragments -- later identified as belonging to a vessel -- came to the surface. The entire upper portion of the wreck was brought to light and the cargo recovered during an extensive excavation season in the summer of 1981. Subsequently, the vessel was submerged beneath the watertable in order to preserve the timber pieces.
The internal planking and frames were removed between the end of the autumn of 1986 and the winter of 1987, while the hull planks and futtocks of the port side were left in place. The recovery took place during the winter of 1988-89. The hull, supported by a wooden cradle adapted to the structure’s distortions and encased within a metallic framework, was raised and transported to the interior of the Palazzo Bellini complex at Comacchio.
