Passing through Sant’Elena, the islands of Vignole, Sant’Erasmo, San Francesco del Deserto, Burano, the islands of Mazzorbo, Madonna del Monte, and San Giacomo in Paludo, we finally reach Murano. We then navigate along the Cannaregio canal until we emerge onto the Grand Canal, culminating at Punta della Dogana, located in front of San Marco. This itinerary represents one of the most highly anticipated city events, the Vogalonga. Created in 1974 by a group of friends, this non-competitive regatta aims to draw attention to the issues associated with wave motion and the growing presence of motorized water traffic.
