Erected in 1884. Cesenatico was the first italian town to dedicate a monument to the national hero Giuseppe Garibaldi.

THE "CONSERVE"

The cone shaped ice-boxes have been used between the 16th and the end of the 20th century mainly for fish preserving. There were numerous "conserve" along the Romagna coast. Cesenatico had about 20 of them, three have been reconstructed similar to the original as evidence of the cuture and the way of life the people of this fishing resort. Every morning on the Piazza delle Conserve flowers and vegetables market.

Oncy only a landing place for small crafts. Than deepened and built in the early 14th century beacause the City of Cesena needed an outlet for its sea trade. In 1502 Cesare Borgia (il Valentino) cpnquered the town and called Leonardo Da Vinci in the hope of finding a solution to the problem of sabd bars siting up the harbour entrance. An exact copy of Leonardo`s design ca be seen in the Public Library of Cesenatico (the original is preserved in the French National Library in Paris). During the course of the centuries the village expanded around the harbour first as a fishing and coastal trade centre, then as a well known seaside resort.

this floatind maritime collection is the only example of its kind in Italy. There are displayed ten exactly restored historic prototypes of the craft of the upper and middle Adriatic with their coloured sails. The "Land Section" of the museum houses numerous artefacts that narrate the events, trade and daily lives of the people of the Adriatic. 

At Christmastime there is a large characteristic crib on the boats.
