Discover Volania

Volania is defined by a plain of canals and wide-open horizons. Its agricultural history and local festival traditions are part of its character, as are guided excursions to the lagoons and salt pans of Comacchio in the wider surrounding area.

Agricultural character

The open plain, canals and expansive horizon form the landscape around Volania. The Beccari family’s fields are on land that was cultivated after land reclamation in the 1960s. At Azienda Agricola Beccari, tomato cultivation was also converted to organic methods. These are two distinct aspects of agricultural history: land reclamation concerns the land, while the conversion concerns the method of growing tomatoes. Anyone interested in the destination’s agricultural character can consider both perspectives separately.

Farm shop and addresses in Volania

You can buy products directly at the Azienda Agricola Beccari farm. If you are planning to shop, call before you arrive, as availability and opening hours should be taken into account. The farm is at Via Poderale Belfiore 2 in Volania di Comacchio. The parish of San Carlo Borromeo is at Via San Carlo Borromeo 14, 44022 Volania FE. Check local access arrangements before visiting.

The Sagra del Salame

On Sunday, July 5, 2026, Volania held its traditional Sagra del Salame. It was dedicated to the flavors of the local cured-meat tradition and to socializing. The program for this edition included a food stand, children’s games and dialect theater, as well as music and dancing at a farm and a fireworks display to close the event. Program details may vary from one edition to another. At the 2026 edition, culinary traditions and a convivial program of events were both central.

Guided excursions in the wider surrounding area

Guided excursions on foot or by boat to the lagoons and salt pans of Comacchio start at Stazione Foce, in the wider area around Volania. Both options visit the same destination area; the difference is the mode of transport. So if you include a tour in your travel plans, you can choose between a walking excursion and a boat trip, while the destination and guided format remain the same. The excursion broadens the view beyond Volania’s plain and canals to its lagoons and salt pans.

Search for hotels in Volania

When searching for hotels in Volania, it helps to distinguish between the town itself and the wider area for excursions. If your trip is focused mainly on the agricultural landscape, the farm shop or local festival traditions, Volania is the main focus. A tour to the lagoons and salt pans can add a guided activity in the wider area to your plans. This way, you can choose your destination based on the things you actually want to include in your trip.
