The Adratic sea
... of fishing with a giant net. This is done in many Abruzzo towns and cities in clouding Ortona and Chieti. Trabocchis are made so one man can do the fishing jobs of many men. These are put just on the coast over top of a rocky water area in the sea, because many fish live around the ...
