The lighthouse

Latitude 45° 38,2' N, Longitude 13° 05,9' E: if you follow these co-ordinates plotted on nautical charts, you’ll find, close to a lighthouse, a small, white house inserted among the golden beach, the cobalt-blue sea and the emerald of the pine-wood.

This is how the precious lighthouse of Bibione appears, built at the beginning of the 20th century not far from the mouth of the Tagliamento River and plunged in the naturalistic resource of the pinewood.
The environmental quality of this green area is the one of uniting different biotopes: in fact, thanks to the proximity of the river, ancient, Mediterranean plants blend with alpine flora and orchids, a sign of a perfectly balanced environment.

The simple, white building stands out against the surrounding landscape: beach-goers regard it as a point of reference to take a walk, to come on holiday with their four-footed friend and to admire the striking landscape of the river mouth. 

When the reassuring outline of the lighthouse appears in the distance among the cliffs, the sailors’ soul is pervaded with melancholic memories: although outdated and no longer in use, the lighthouse has borne since ancient times an important significance: a light in the darkness to guide sailors.
