doubts that have been hovering over the gastronomic community for some time the name of Agostino Iacobucci's new restaurant in Cesenatico is read with the accent on the “ó,” as specified in the logo and means exactly “again,” and not "Àncora" which in Italian is the tool with which a boat is moored It is probably the immediacy effect of the brain as in the case when it can read words correctly with the inner letters in bulk when “anchor” is in a maritime context it is immediately associated with the mooring implement we meet the chef from Castellammare di Stabia and immediately ask him how he arrived at the choice of this name for the new restaurant that opened a few months ago He explains that it is basically the Italian I Did It Again.” “Exactly five years after the opening of Villa Zarri in Bologna,” Agostino explains ” the opportunity happened to take this new place and one evening while chatting they made me the proposal and I thought of launching myself again in a new restaurant adventure The space is the one that for almost twenty years hosted Magnolia Alberto Faccani's two-star Michelin restaurant Celestia's flash project.Approximately twenty-four covers and with a few spurts of refined eccentricity such as the highly polished resin counter shaded in different blues and turquoises Agostino Iacobucci, forty-four, is chef and patron of the Michelin-starred restaurant of the same name inside the majestic Villa Zarri in Castel Maggiore, Bologna (menu story here) He took up cooking at the age of fifteen in his aunt's restaurant in Lettere after several internships in France and the United Kingdom Confirmed two years later at I Portici in Bologna which became starred within months of opening in 2019 “I think this is the time to evolve in my role as a chef and become a trainer and supporter of young people,” says Iacobucci “I think it is necessary to do something tangible to support talented young people who may have a project but lack resources and therefore sufficient motivation to start it: this is also why they are leaving the industry My feeling is that at this rate the Italian restaurant industry will dissolve." For the Stabiese chef the opening of this new restaurant in the Leonardesco Canal Harbor town also represents a family reunion of sorts after six years in the brigade at Osteria Francescana along with others in their early twenties are joining resident chef Marco Garattoni he began his journey at the Berton restaurant in Milan starting as an intern until becoming sous chef Thanks to Berton he flew to Barcelona and for more than two years worked at Disfrutar With Alberto Faccani there had already been brief periods of sporadic work so back in Italy he joined the brigade of the Magnolia restaurant to fill the role of sous chef “I always went to eat at Alberto's,” Iacobucci says we already knew each other obviously on social media Then a colleague told me he was about to leave Magnolia and he married the project."“You could say I went back to my roots a little bit ,” Marco adds “ the first years of my work at Magnolia I was in this very place and last but not least I am close to home.” The restaurant's clientele is predominantly local are Bolognese with second homes in Cesenatico former customers of Iacobucci's at Villa Zarri The dining room is expertly run by Apulian maître Antonio Lo Basso “Manju,” who has been following Iacobucci since I Portici with significant experience at Enoteca Pinchiorri The concepts that materialize in the dishes take off from cues from Marco and Agostino in most cases starting with the ingredient and still in the embryonic stage are shared with the whole brigade so that there is a collective thought behind the creative phase What comes out reveals a clear and limpid sense of taste that emerges at the precise meeting point between elegance and enjoyment along with an aesthetic approach exhibited with extreme naturalness respectively; in addition to the chef's free-hand menu a la carte offerings and the lunch special The welcoming amuse bouche set includes a flan of chard and lightly smoked sardines; a cube of watermelon horseradish mayonnaise; a bao with tuna sauce trout roe; a tartlet with crabmeat and beet A kaleidoscope of hints of sauces mimicking the tones of Russian salad accompanies the raw purple shrimp which can be dressed in a variety of hints including even the savory aromatics of caviar and a froth of giardiniera basil leaves are infused into the mozzarella's water a burst of freshness with cantaloupe melon ice cream Hazelnut miso emphasizes the sweetness of freshly seared scallop a raw scallop is covered with a crispy pasta shell to be broken up and mixed with the shellfish and certainly could not be missed in Cesenatico The transposition of the homemade "seppia e piselli" into haute cuisine takes place with the cuttlefish offered in four preparations After the legendary "tortello Napoli incontra l'Emilia" here the pasta filling is the main condiment of the most popular pasta dish in Romagna namely spaghetto alle vongole (spaghetti with clams) Inside the unmissable bottoni are "poverazze" “Being originally from the sea ,” says Iacobucci,” once I moved to Bologna I found in Cesenatico my favorite seaside location the beautiful movement of people that reminds me of the Villa Comunale in Castellammare Thirteen years ago when I first came with my wife all I could see from the highway was greenery and hills I could not get my bearings or figure out which side was the sea so we thought of covering our risotto alla pescatora with green powder."

and his failings only endeared him more profoundly to his public he remains in some ways more popular than he was in life Aware that I misunderstood Pantani as a racer two recent trips to his hometown of Cesenatico have allowed me to better understand his legacy The first came in 2020 when the Giro d’Italia visited Cesenatico And while the stage looped around the backcountry hills where he often trained a museum dedicated to him housed in an old train station on the edge of town the 3,200 square foot Spazio Pantani displays bikes from his entire career the seat is set extremely low as the bike was likely too big for the teenage Pantani like his exquisite blue-and-white Carrera to the Bianchi he used to win the 1998 Tour de France are all on display—as is virtually every racing jersey he ever pinned a number on Elaborate volumes of newspaper clippings recount his sporting glories while rare videos demonstrate the immensely talented amateur rider who simply rode away from his competition race after race Pantani was one of the most gifted riders of his generation And when Italian pro Daniel Oss reminded me that Pantani’s tomb was also in Cesenatico “It’s right off the main road,” Oss explained the cemetery was open and Pantani’s grave was easy to locate; it is even identified on Google Maps Pantani’s body rests in a large tomb with Famiglia Pantani written above the door Inside is a simple white tombstone that’s inscribed with just Pantani’s name and dates of birth and death Photos hanging on the wall highlight certain moments in his career gifts from friends and fans who had recently passed by Most were small and carried personal meanings to those that left them a gift that only belongs to some champions A perfect moment to reflect once more on the life and legend that was Marco Pantani On Sunday, May 12, 2024, 1,300 athletes from 22 countries will line up at the inaugural Challenge Cesenatico on Italy’s Adriatic Coast bike & run on a course the organisers point out is… ‘steeped in cycling history.’ A 40-strong pro field includes local favourite Alessandro Fabien as well as Dieter Comhair (BEL) Marcel Bolbat (GER) and Ogenjen Stojanović (SRB) Austrians Gabriele Obmann and Lisa Dornauer are well matched They will also be up against Aurelia Boulanger (ITA) and local athlete Marta Bernardi Cesenatico is regarded as a home of Italian cycling and will host the start of Stage Two of this year’s Tour de France following the 1.9km swim off Cesenatico Beach the 90km bike course is entirely designed in the hills of Romagna a region located on the border between Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany with its picturesque landscapes The final 21km run course will be a flat multi-lap route along the Cesenatico seafront – with spectators helping the athletes to soak up the atmosphere as it drives them to the finish line in Cesenatico’s Levante Park www.challenge-cesenatico.com A hint of sea salt breeze barely reaches Villa Margherita a private residence converted into a hospitality structure in the hills above Cesenatico among which lurks the blue of a swimming pool among the fragrant patches of broom "I knew this place from when I catered for the owners some years ago No one could imagine that just a few kilometers from the chaos of the Riviera The potential here is quite different from that of the venue on Viale Trento where even in 2008 the chef had moved the Michelin star he had won three years earlier whose combination with fine dining and the landscape attracts an international audience before becoming a successful self-taught chef wanted me to acquire a basic education before getting into manual work when asked what I wanted to be when I grew up Then there was the internship at La Frasca during the time of the duumvirate Italo Bassi-Riccardo Monco teaching me the organization of work in a large team after twenty years I feel like I'm applying those lessons and recreating what was shown to me."

For over 50 years, the Nove Colli di Cesenatico (Nine Hills of Cesenatico) bike race has gathered cyclists from all over the world to the gentle landscape of the Romagna Apennines, well-known for its close connection with this type of sport Those who took part in the Nove Colli in the past know that the effort gradually gives way to the satisfaction of crossing the finish line of one of the best known and most popular races in Italy taking place in the land of the famous Marco Pantani What is the history of the Gran Fondo Nove Colli then Irony of fate has it that the race, famous for its climbs over the hills of Romagna, was born at sea level. In 1971 a group of cyclists met at dawn at the Bar del Corso, in the historic Canal Port in Cesenatico That was the very first edition of the Nove Colli bicycle race It is no coincidence that the origins of the race are rooted in that very bar a circle of cycling enthusiasts had gathered in the bar to found the Fausto Coppi Cycling Society effectively starting the cycling activity that would soon lead to the birth of Nove Colli From just 17 participants in that very first edition in recent years registrations have skyrocketed to 12,000 testifying to the growing success of the event Its national appeal reached its peak in 2020 when a stage of the prestigious Giro d’Italia was held right on the very route of the Nove Colli While the number of participants has increased exponentially over time the route of the Gran Fondo has always remained true to the name it bears Nine are the hills and climbs that cyclists must tackle during the race that starts and returns to the sea The Nove Colli is not just any cycling event but a Gran Fondo (sometimes translated to “Big Ride”) The characteristic feature of this type of race is the long distance a feature that fully reflects the nature of the Cesenatico race Its best-known route is almost 124 miles long But it is not the only one that cyclists can choose when registering for the race There are mainly two alternatives: the longer and more demanding route is 120-mile long The maximum height faced along the route is 0,49 miles while the total uphill miles are as many as 44 This is the route that gives the race its name set in the provinces of Forlì-Cesena and Rimini (namely the Polenta This area offers spectacular views and is dotted with lovely hamlets such as Bertinoro, Mercato Saraceno and San Leo the latter Nove Colli route still requires a good level of training We are talking about 80 miles with a total height difference of 1,16 miles 31 miles of climbing and a maximum height of 0,33 miles the starting and finishing point are the same as the ones of the former route Over the years, further races have been added to the Nove Colli, turning the race into one of the most complete cycling events in

Starting from Rimini let’s sit on the edge of Fontana della Pigna (once in Piazza dell’Arengo today in Piazza Cavour) to observe the water just like Leonardo did which described the fountain’s harmonious effect in his secret notes: “Fassi un’armonia colle diverse cadute d’acqua a futuristic device that would have used water not as a pump while falling into vases of different shapes Cesena is the city that Cesare Borgia wanted to enlarge and embellish to make it the seat of his court In what is today the magnificent Piazza del Popolo Leonardo made reliefs of the walls and the fortifications The massive curtain wall of the southern front of the Rocca Nuova was changed in 1503 with the creation of walls called “alla franzoza” to face the new siege techniques block the increasingly devastating blows of heavy firearms and have direct control of the territory was probably approved by Leonardo da Vinci It’s interesting to note how the shape assumed by the artillery loopholes is the same as Leonardo’s drawings He modified the orientation and the length of the single palisades and widened the connected basins so that the sea water could enter and accumulate and then flow quickly during the low tides and but the Leonardo’s Canal Port of Cesenatico is today one of the most important monuments of the city and a walk along the canal allows you to fully enjoy the architectural beauty and warm atmosphere of this seaside town that – as said at the beginning – preserves the reproduction of the famous “Codice L” of Leonardo Floating Maritime Museum on the Canal Port Leonardo resumed his journey toward Faenza where his passage is testified by the drawing he made about the Cathedral in Piazza della Libertà whose majesty fascinated Da Vinci so much that he

Geraint Thomas is being dropped as Primoz Roglic tries to move up towards the front of the main bunch A veteran hobbyist explains the allure of searching for treasure in a huge pine forest in the province of Viterbo Leonardo Ciocca was a novice detectorist when he thought he’d made the discovery of the century He had been searching for treasures beneath the earth in a patch of Umbrian countryside when his metal detector began to emit a series of high-pitch beeps The machine indicated the presence of a deeply buried “precious” metal “So I obviously became very excited,” said Ciocca “I started digging and at a certain point glimpsed some silver and thought it might be quite a large silver bar.” the object revealed itself to be a speculum – the kind used by vets to examine the intimate parts of animals The tool is thought to have dated to the 1960s when the area Ciocca had been exploring was farmland “Maybe a vet had visited a cow and left the tool behind,” he said it is probably the strangest thing I have ever found.” Such disappointment may have put others off Ciocca is now one of Italy’s most revered detectorists a community of an estimated 25,000-30,000 that has grown significantly in recent years To the uninitiated, the assumption is that detectorists spend most of their time scouring beaches for their finds while beaches are popular – especially post-summer when visitors have returned home jewellery and sometimes even gold teeth – most detectorists in Italy practise their hobby inland On a recent morning, Ciocca took the Observer to Parco del Grottone, a huge pine forest in the province of Viterbo, about 70km from Rome. After explaining how a metal detector works, Ciocca, equipped with two other essential tools – a spade and a device that pinpoints the location of a find – contemplated which direction of the forest to walk in. Finding something worthwhile is mostly luck, he said. But also intuition. So we headed left, hovering our detectors along a path that is popular with joggers, who often drop coins. On the edge of the path, Ciocca’s sophisticated detector made quite a vibrant beep and indicated that the item could be jewellery. So he decided to stop and dig. The anticipation was palpable. However, the object turned out to be a piece of aluminium used to package medicine. A golden rule among detectorists is to clear any rubbish they find. Subsequent beeps led to rusty nails, bits of discarded drink cans and a 20 cent coin. The jaunt wasn’t so fruitful, but over the years Ciocca and his fellow detectorists have unearthed many gems. Finding coins in lira, the old Italian currency, is common, but so is digging up coins bearing the face of either the first or third kings of Italy, Vittorio Emanuele II and III, and dating from 1861, when the short-lived monarchy began. “You find these coins everywhere, especially in the middle of wooded areas,” said Ciocca. “Maybe they were dropped by farmers, shepherds or people who had gone there to chop wood.” Other finds have included religious votives dating to the 1700s, and ancient buttons worn by farmers in the hope that they would bring a good harvest. Free weekly newsletterThe most pressing stories and debates for Europeans – from identity to economics to the environment For Ciocca, among the most interesting discoveries is the “trench art” produced by soldiers during the first and second world wars. “Especially the second world war when soldiers spent months and months closed in trenches,” he said. “They had to distract themselves from the horror and so took objects – cutlery, mess tins or parts of ammunition – to make jewellery and even lighters. They were very elaborate – I’ve seen bracelets made with bits of grenades.” Detectorists have also found rings and dog-tags engraved with the names of American soldiers, and have sometimes been able to trace their relatives to return the items. Italy is open for detectorists to freely explore, apart from some areas of Veneto and Bolzano, where permits are required, and in the semi-autonomous Aosta Valley, where the practice is banned. hunting in archaeological areas is strictly out of bounds There are also rules about which objects detectorists can keep – relics must be handed to the relevant authority within 24 hours Such is the popularity of the hobby in Italy that Ciocca set up an “academy” in Cesenatico The beach has since become a hub for detectors with a treasure hunt each year: whoever finds the most metal tokens buried in the sand There is a hotel in nearby Milano Marittima dedicated to detectorists Ciocca said he still feels like a “child at Christmas” whenever his detector makes a beep that could uncover something precious many excursions only lead to finding rubbish you have still had a good walk in the outdoors in areas full of nature where the only sound is the beep and the birds This is the archive of The Observer up until 21/04/2025 The Observer is now owned and operated by Tortoise Media by /// May 22 From the beaches of Ferrara to the border with the Marche region, 9 beaches in Emilia-Romagna have been awarded the 2024 BLUE FLAG certification The decision was taken by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) which every year examines the seaside towns of more than 50 European and non-European countries and awards the prestigious certification to the best ones More than 30 different parameters are taken into account and the beauty of a seaside resort and its beaches are of secondary importance The main aspects that are taken into consideration are the health conditions of the sea the administration of the territory and of the waste urban furniture and accessibility to the beaches the presence of cycle paths or green areas but also the presence of appropriate safety and comfort plans within individual beach establishments With its 110 kilometers of sandy bathing beaches Emilia-Romagna is confirmed also in 2024 as one of the best Italian and European destinations for a happy and sustainable summer holiday Comacchio is an oasis of wellness desire for the sea and the essence of pure nature We are in the 7 beach towns of Comacchio, halfway between Ferrara and Ravenna, poised between the blue Adriatic Sea and the green Po Delta Park offering long stretches of beach with shallow waters where children can play in all safety A perfect destination to enjoy the sea and the nature with the family Ravenna is a city of unparalleled charm, home to as many as eight Unesco World Heritage monuments The blue Adriatic Sea is only a few kilometers away from the historical centre of the city with nine beach towns stretching along 35 km of coastline Each one of them has its own characteristics and meets different needs according to the type of stay: sun and relaxation, games, sports and fitness and, last but not least, the great amusement park Mirabilandia and the zoological park Safari Ravenna Added to all this is the excellent cuisine of the Romagna tradition and the many trails in the nature and in the green of historical (San Vitale and Classe) and coastal pine forests, integral part of the great Po Delta Park On one side is Milano Marittima, with its haute-couture fashion shops, trendy clubs and late-night parties;
