Wild mussels and the products of the Ravenna Lagoon meet Franciacorta

The kitchen staff of Slow Food Ravenna with chef Pierangelo Orselli organizes a seafood dinner focusing on wild mussels and the products of the Ravenna Lagoon.


The wetlands here are the brackish lagoons around Ravenna, with limited inflows of freshwater and amaranth family plants. In 1981 the lagoons were included in the Ramsar list of Wetlands of International Importance, and form part of the Po Delta. The waters flow towards the Adriatic Sea, where numerous hunting cabins and fishing spots along the banks bear witness to an ancient and local gastronomic culture.
