Description

Coltano, frazione del comune di Pisa, oltre che per numerose testimonianze archeologiche, è noto per ospitare, nel suo territorio, il più lungo viadotto autostradale d'Italia con i suoi 9.619 m di lunghezza (a cavallo tra Coltano e Collesalvetti). In passato, è stato sede, nei primi quarant'anni del XX secolo, del più importante centro radio d'Europa per comunicazioni transcontinentali, ed ha ospitato durante la seconda guerra mondiale uno dei più duri quanto controversi campi di concentramento alleati in Italia. Geografia La località è posizionata a sud di Pisa, e comprende un'ampia area di campi coltivati, ed una vasta pineta, inclusa nel Parco di San Rossore. È compresa tra l'Aeroporto di Pisa-San Giusto a nord, il Camp Darby (Tirrenia, Pisa) ad ovest, le frazioni di Collesalvetti Guasticce e Stagno a sud e la SR206 "Via Emilia", località Arnaccio, ad est. Il centro del territorio, in posizione leggermente rialzata, è nella località Palazzi. Numerosi canali attraversano o delimitano il territorio, in quanto l'intero areale, in origine paludoso, è stato bonificato a partire dal 1922 dall'Opera Nazionale Combattenti attraverso un sistema di idrovore e canalizzazione, tuttora ben presenti. Coltano, a hamlet of the town of Pisa, as well as numerous archeological evidence, is known to host on its territory, the longest motorway bridge in Italy with its 9619 m long (between Coltano and Collesalvetti). In the past, was established in the first four decades of the twentieth century's most important center of Europe for radio communications transcontinental and hosted during the Second World War as one of the toughest camps controversial allies in Italy. Geography The resort is located south of Pisa, and covers a wide area of cultivated fields, and a vast pine forest, including the Park of San Rossore. It is situated between the airport of Pisa-San Giusto to the north, Camp Darby (Tirrenia, Pisa) to the west, the villages of Collesalvetti Guasticce and Pond in the south and the SR206 "Via Emilia", area Arnaccio in the east. The center of the territory, in a slightly elevated position, is in town buildings. Many channels or circumscribe the territory, since the entire range, originally marshland was reclaimed from the 1922 National Opera Fighters through a system of pumping stations and sewerage, are still very present.

A beautiful in flight shot and interesting text about the area.. This bird would have preferred the marshland you describe.. And without doubt would have protected your homeland area from the floods you showed us before..

Dovete trasformarti in un uccello, volante parallelamente con questo collega per ottenere questo colpo meraviglioso. Assolutamente splendido!!! You must have transformed yourself into a bird, flying side-by-side with this fellow to get this wonderful shot. Absolutely gorgeous!!!
