In late August 2026, various fishing traditions and competitions were observed across Italy. In Pesaro, the second edition of the ‘Pesca alla Tratta’ historical reenactment was held to revive a community tradition that had been absent for over fifty years. Simultaneously, the 31st Trofeo Comune di Brivio took place in Olginate along the Adda river, focusing on sport fishing and community building.

Following these events, the ‘Pesca alla Tratta’ ritual is scheduled to be reenacted in Rivazzurra on September 4. Organized by the Rimini per Tutti onlus association and local tourism operators, the demonstration will showcase a traditional collective fishing technique where nets are pulled from offshore toward the shore. The event is expected to include public observations of the process, live entertainment, and local food tastings.
