Lucio Schiavon + Fie A Manetta | Imaginary Voyage

A traveling journey through the Venice lagoon, studying its immense visual repertoire through drawing

An idea by Lucio Schiavon In collaboration with the association “Fieamanetta” and InsideVenice

A unique en plein air drawing experience aboard a sanpierota, a traditional lagoon boat, guided by the Fie A Manetta association, along with Venetian illustrator Lucio Schiavon. A path of observation and visual exploration reaching some of the most unexplored corners of the lagoon, among crevices, islands, and unexpected views. A journey punctuated by stops where you can capture the details and impressions that surround you, but also draw in motion, at the rhythm of the water.
