The Route
Guests will set sail from Ca’ di Dio to the colourful Burano Island. From here, they will embark upon their discoveries on Bisetto’s traditional boat called a ‘Carolina’. The Carolina has a flat bottom which allows the boat to get close to the island banks. The route follows the traditional wooden structures called bricole, along the navigable canals from the Bacino di San Marco. After travelling along the San Felice Canal, the boat will enter the heart of the northern lagoon, a silent and highly evocative place where the sandbank plants continuously change.
The Lagoon, Flora, and Fauna
The lagoon is full of channels, gullies, and small channels knowns as ghebi, which branch out in a volute shape between ditches, mudflats, and sandbanks. Gabriele will explain how the water rises and falls due to the sun and moon and how the ebb and flow creates the perfect environment for the flora and fauna.
Back at Ca’ di Dio
Chef Raimondo Squeo, who heads up the kitchen, will explain how the lagoon inspires the cuisine served at Vero Restaurant. The Venetian dishes are revisited with a modern touch yet respect the seasonality of the ingredients. Gabriele Bisetto has worked with the Ca’ di Dio team to help produce a special gin made with salt from the lagoon.
