UNESCO Recognition

     
Unesco   Parco del Delta del Po has been included in the Unesco World Heritage List.

The Park has been included in the list during the session of the World Heritage Committee held on December 2nd, 1999 in Marrakech, Morocco; the new site has been called "Ferrara, City of the Renaissance, and its Po Delta", since it is an extension of the Este town site already present in the List since 1995.

In its justification for the inclusion, the Committee praises the extraordinary natural ecosystem which was closely linked by man to the town between the 14th and the 16th century.
