An entire city in a grain of salt: a world made of history, tradition and passion.

In the second half of the 1980s Agostino Finchi, a former salt worker, together with a group of enthusiasts took action to recover materials linked to the history of the Cervia salt pan such as tools, documents and photos that testify to the environment and the production of salt. With the material collected, towards the end of the 1980s a permanent exhibition was set up inside the salt warehouses, which testifies to the activity of the salt workers and life in the salt pan. In 1989 the group of enthusiasts formed a cultural association and the Gruppo Culturale Civiltà Salinara was born which has worked and still works to bear witness to a relatively recent past whose memory is still alive in the memory of the citizens of Cervia.

If you don't know the history of the Cervia salt pans, this is an excellent opportunity to come and visit me!
