When Cesare Borgia needed to fortify the nearby city of Cesena, he commissioned Leonardo da Vinci to survey and draw the port canal of Cesenatico. This engineering project remains the defining structural feature of the municipality to this day.
Home to just over 25,400 residents, this Adriatic port is located about 30 kilometers south of Ravenna. While rooted in ambitious historical planning, it operates today primarily as a popular seaside resort along the Romagnol coast.
