The girl with the suitcase in the pine forests of Cervia and Milano Marittima

In La ragazza con la valigia (The Girl with the Suitcase), Valerio Zurlini entrusted Cardinale with the part of a Sicilian woman who leaves the island in search of her fortune when she is still very young, and arrives in Emilia-Romagna where she will be seduced and abandoned, but will not give up her quest for social and human redemption. Well, this film was shot in 1961 in various locations of this reason, which have preserved the poetic force and pathos of the film work. The pinewoods of Cervia and Milano Marittima, in particular, after the cloudburst that severely affected them last August, deserve to be rediscovered: there are no less than 32 paths that can be followed to admire and smell the many specimens of Pinus Pinaster and Pinus Pinea, as well as poplars, oaks and locust trees, which take their place in the dunes and sandy glades, and wild orchids still survive. You can visit the ancient Camillone salt mine kept alive by volunteers who gladly show it to visitors. The Mare Pineta is the historic resort of Milano Marittima where you can enjoy the rarefied atmosphere of the sea in early autumn, lunching at its restaurant The Cube overlooking the garden.
