A
few steps from Marina Di Massa there are Ronchi and Poveromo where since
1988 the International Prize “San Domenichino” is holden in order to
honour the small saint of Saragozza. The Prize , with religious origins,
has been transformed in a Literary Prize of international fame and is
attended every year by famous characters of culture and art of high level. The
main characteristic of Ronchi and Poveromo is the particular landscape which is the ideal place to go on
holiday; besides the sea and the sun here is also a Californian climate.

During the cold months rarely the temperature decreases below zero. The
Apuan Alps protect from the cold winds of Tramontana. The spring begins
very soon and already in February the trees start blooming.Every
holidaymaker knows that in Ronchi and Poveromo there are nature
and quiet, a well –equipped beach, many tourist facilities as
shops, first class hotels, guesthouses, besides there is also the
airport of Cinquale which guarantees tourist flights linking up the
national and international ones with
the islands.

Moreover the sport facilities complete the various
equipments and the natural endowments. The mild climate and the lively
industriousness animate Ronchi and Poveromo already in spring when the
first hot beams of the sun gild the buildings and the surrounding
nature. During the summer
moreover the sea and the mountains guarantee one of the most complete
and interesting stay.

The 28Th August 1977 a tornado destroyed in
short time the age-old pinewood which up that date had characterised one of the most beautiful
Mediterranean bush. The tornado destroyed also beach establishments,
houses and roads. Everything has been rebuilt following the previous style,
|
|
|
the
pinewood has been reforested , where possible, but it will take many
years to get a bush as the old one, even if many rare plants have been
saved. All this gives to the place a particular aspect which attracts tourists. A beautiful holiday , a perfect fusion between the Mediterranean nature and the facilities which are
necessary for a first –class tourist area.
|
|
This balance gives to Ronchi and Poveromo the possibility to be a
small “Eden” , one of the favourite place by the tourists during the
summer season. Thanks to the human relationships, to the kindness and
comprehension for the life systems and for the traditional custom of the
foreigners, Ronchi and Poveromo are one of the most favourite tourist
and bathing area not only Italian but also overseas. All above testified
also by the large tourism
from all over the world.
