| | Comacchio, Italy. Travel guide & tourist information by Hostelbookers.com |
 | | The region's main centre, COMACCHIO is a small fishing town intersected by a network of canals, with a famous local attraction in its triple-bridge or Trepponti, built in 1634, which crosses three of the canals. |
 | | Comacchio is an eel-port, and the time to visit is autumn, when wriggling masses of the creatures are fished out of the canals on their way to the Sargasso Sea. |
 | | Incidentally, Comacchio's harbour is named Porto Garibaldi, after the Risorgimento hero who was left on the shore with his wife, Anita, and their companion Leggero, as the last Garibaldini were captured off the coast by the Austrian navy. |
