History
At the end of 1509, the Serenissima wanted to punish the expansionist manias of the Este family with a river attack on the Duchy of Ferrara. The bloody confrontation that saw the victory of the Ferrara militia took place on the banks of the Po.
Following the victory, a Polesan gunner, loyal to Duke
Alfonso I d'Este, was named Knight "degli Scacchi" in honor of his effective strategy for arranging the artillery. He was also given a woodland between the Borgo della Fontana (today's San Giuseppe) and Magnavacca. From these arose the first residential nucleus, the Borgo Scacchi.
Every year, on August 8, a party is celebrated to commemorate the foundation of Lido degli Scacchi, the
nearby Lido di Pomposa - with costume parades and masked floats.
On the table
The comacchiese eel is the traditional dish of the whole area of the Ferrara beaches, cooked and served following ancient recipes with an unmistakable flavor. However, there is no shortage of other delicious fish-based dishes, all prepared with local fish.
