Porto Rotondo, a village child of culture Its origins date back to1964, the year in which the VenetiansLuigi and Nicolò Donà dalle Rosedecided to found the village and the port which, despite the passing of decades, never stopped working. Their idea is to create a meeting place for artists and intellectuals who, once they arrive, succeed in making the village beautiful, cultured and flourishing. And so it was: to date, Porto Rotondo boasts a large number of works of art created by great artists, first and foremost sculptorsAndrea Cascellaand Giancarlo Sangregorio. The former is the father ofPiazzetta San Marco, a meeting place for tourists, while the latter gave life to the Piazzetta dellaVecchia Darsena, the fishermen’s square. Over the years, a dense network of painters, sculptors and intellectuals has reigned in the small town of Porto Rotondo, which still today makes every effort to ensure that the artistic and cultural level maintains very high standards. It is no coincidence that in 2007 themosaic of Via del Molo, known as the “food chain” of the Breton artistEmmanuel Chapalain, was created. In order to attract the attention of tourists, beautiful timeshare properties have been created within the country, as well as comfortable residences and spectacular villas that, every year, accommodate over32 thousand peoplein August alone.
