PROGRAM

Venice is not only a world-famous tourist destination known for the architectural wonders it offers, but also a treasure trove of the traditions and culture of a simple fishermen and peasants folk who, with dedication and hard work typical of the Venetian people, have resisted and survived in a difficult and often inhospitable lagoon territory.

Their traditions are still living in the "bacari", typical locales, inns, and Venetian “trattorias” ( small family restuarants), scattered amongst “calli” and “campielli”, in the most secluded corners of Venice.

Here you can savour the "cicchetti" (small snacks and side dishes – served in ”bacari” - cicchetti bars), typical fish noodles, meat and vegetables, accompanied by an “ombra” (shadow) , a typical glass of local wine.
