In the earlier years, the international meeting was situated on the wide large beach in the middle of the small town with its characteristic streets shaded by platanes. Later the festival was moved to the southern part of the town, where the beach is confined and narrow. We met many interesting people and won friends down there at this beautiful place at the flat coast of the adria. If you have time, visit Cervia.\r\n<div class=\"photos\">\r\n\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"photo alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/horvath.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/cervia-kite-festival-chairs.jpg\" alt=\"Kite festival Cervia: chairs on sand.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"720\" \/>The day before, in the evening ...\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"photos\">\r\n\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"photo alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/horvath.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/cervia-kite-claudio-capelli.jpg\" alt=\"A poster kite in portrait format with the kite festival logo by Claudio Capelli.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1260\" \/>The festival kite by Claudio Capelli, Cervia. The frame of this classic \"poster-kite\" is built up by a stiff spine and two differently long flexible spreaders. Usually, the tail is a \"U\", attached at the two lower corners. Being small, (e.g. 50 x 70 cm), the little kite flies quite steadily in sufficient wind.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"photos\">\r\n\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"photo alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/horvath.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/cervia-kite-thinker.jpg\" alt=\"A smooth fly away on a calm evening in Cervia, in the background the thinker walking.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1260\" \/>The kite and the thinker.
