'BRAGOZZO' FISHING-BOAT TRIPS ACROSS THE LAGOON
A leisurely trip with Alfredo on one of his ‘bragozzo’ fishing boats is the best way to explore the Venetian lagoon and to discover hidden-away places of great artistic and historical interest and amazing natural beauty. You will sail through the maze of canals and stretches of placid waters, in a landscape in constant flux, where land and water battle in vain for unattainable supremacy. Far away from places celebrating the Serenissima’s power, you can observe the millennium-long struggle waged by Venetians to shape and tame the forces of nature.
