COURTEOUS TOURISM IN VENICE
The purpose is to provide to visitors in Venice the experience of the city through the eyes of
those who live it.
Our proposal for a courteous tourism is focuses primarily on three factors:
1. A brief description of the contradictions and the wonder of living in Venice, from the extraordinary
story of the ancient city / archipelago (a few thousand fishermen and traders distributed in
hundreds of islands) to the risk of the monothematic / tourism park (22 million visitors concentrated
on the St. Mark area )
2. a rowing experience, with Venetian rowing class, on a traditional boat along the canals
3. a lesson in traditional Venetian cuisine inspired by the recipes from the lagoon and the High
Adriatic sea
On these basic ideas we have developed three possible cultural routes, which rotate around a
home-studio overlooking the water, where take places the lesson with audiovisual, from which
starts the school of venetian rowing and we sail to places connected to the chosen theme, and
where eventually we can cook and dining.
The house-studio is also the seat of the Cultural Association Venti di Cultura, whose mission is to
narrate the territories through cultural cabotage.
