Further information
From the Cannaregio district we will take you to sail the waters of the lagoon, just outside the center of Venice, immersed in the calm and amazing colors of water and sky. The meeting point is in the Fondamenta degli Ormesini area, one of the most authentic corners of the city, which in the evening attracts many Venetians for the classic aperitif. There are many bàcari where you can enjoy a cichèto and a shadow after your lesson and savor the authentic Venetian life! For those arriving from the train station or from Piazzale Roma you can calculate a 10-15 minute walk.The Venetian rowing technique is truly peculiar and rightly born for reasons related to the particular conformation of the lagoon. The standing rowing allows you to scrutinize the bottom of the canals and avoid shallows. The forcola is a very special element of the rowing boat that allows you to move the oar quickly (recall the movements of the gondolier, who so naturally leads his gondola in the traffic of the most crowded canals.
