CESENATICO
Cesenatico is a port town on the Northern Adriatic coast of Italy within an internationally renowned touristic area with thousands of accommodations a local train station and 3 airports within 100km: Bologna (BLQ), Rimini (RMI) & Forlì (FRL).
It was founded in 1302 at a time when Cesena urgently required a seaport for its trade. At the beginning of the sixteenth century Cesare Borgia decided that defense works where needed to protect the harbor adequately from the violence of the waves. It appears that Leonardo da Vinci took an active part in these works, and indeed his original design is in the library of the Institut de France in Paris.
