Trabocco Turchino at dawn
The trabocchi are ancient wooden platforms for fishing with a spider-like array of wooden arms, ropes and pulleys which used to be used in connection with large nets to trap fish. They have been declared a national monument and, while some have been converted into cafes and restaurants, others like this one have been restored to the way they were about two centuries ago. Trabocco Turchino is on the Trabocchi Coast (a section of the Chieti province coast from Francavilla al Mare to San Salvo) in the Abruzzo region of Italy.
