Taking a walk in the pine wood of Cervia you can find pines, oaks, junipers, ash-trees, and a lot of plants and shrubs, in particular blackberry, wild plums, wild roses, wild grape- wines, wild olives and privets. The importance of the green of the place is obvious also looking at the coat of arms of Cervia, because it represents a red deer, symbol of the past abundance of wild in this region lot of times ago, when the pinewood was much more extended. Pope Leone X in 1518 ordered that the pinewood should not be offended in any way, and subsequently Clement VII openly manifested its displeasure for the destruction of lot of parts of the wooden area by Italian and French soldiers who fought there, and then he launched a decree, by it anyone who cut a pine would have had to pay one "fine" of 25 crowns of gold. Many parts of the pinewood where however deforested during the course of the centuries, above all because of the construction of roads or channels, among whom the pinewood of the Madonna dei Pini (in 1870) and of the Bassona (in 1914), cutting the green area to the only pinewood of Cervia and Tagliata. |
