The champions regatta in "gondolini"

It is one of the most eagerly awaited sporting events of the year: the best-known rowing champions compete, having been chosen from a long and complex selection in August.

Regatta in "caorline"

Those taking part in this regatta are the rowers excluded from the gondolini competition.

The boat is heavy and powerful, reaching the speed of a motorboat thanks to its six rowers.

The crew is made up of six athletes who traditionally represent a neighbourhood of the city or the estuary.

Women’s regatta in "mascarete"

The first evidence of a women’s regatta dates back to 1493, when in honour of Beatrice d’Este, the wife of Ludovico il Moro, a rowing race among fifty young maidens was organised.


In the following centuries the women’s regattas continued to be popular until falling into disuse at the end of the 18^th century.


The women’s regatta definitively entered the regatta programme in 1977, reawakening a new and healthy interest in rowing, which thanks to this competition has found a new lease of life and development.

Young rowers' regatta in "pupparini"

The bright young things of Venetian-style rowing battle it out in this regatta which crowns the best young rowers (14-18 years old) of the estuary and offers positive indications for those who could go on to be future rowing champions and take part in the most prestigious races.
