The 2008 World Cycling Champion Alessandro Ballan was the guest of honour at the opening of the Ca’ Pasquali section, which completes the entire construction of the longest cantilevered bicycle path in Europe. Alessandro, this is a bicycle path that is envied throughout Europe for its charm. How important is it for cyclists? “You’re right: first and foremost, it’s important for safety. We know very well how dangerous it is to ride on the roads these days; staying out of traffic, in peace and quiet, with your family and children, is a great plus. It also allows you to relax…

Via del Respiro is completed: a unique route in Europe overlooking the lagoon. “Via del Respiro” is the name of the bicycle path built along Via Pordelio, largely suspended over the water thanks to a steel structure on which a lane of massandaruba wood has been laid. Massandaruba is a tree native to Central and South America, reddish in colour and suitable for marine environments. The work was completed at the end of July and the path will be fully accessible in the coming months. Built on a suspended structure for 6.5 of its total 8.5 kilometres, the path overlooks…
The Councillor for Tourism, Alessandro Ballarin What is the added value of Cavallino-Treporti that makes its brand so strong? “Cavallino-Treporti is a blue and green location, with a strong environmental vocation that stems from a specific political choice: to enhance green areas, maintain a low skyline and protect the open air. These elements not only represent an identity resource, but also outline a clear vision for the future of the area. The environmental focus is also recognised from a tourism perspective, thanks to a model of widespread accommodation immersed in nature, such as the open-air experience.” The cantilevered bicycle path…

A festival linked to local traditions, with the flavours of the region’s food and wine. This is the basis for the famous Tempeston festival, scheduled for Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th of September, in the churchyard of Santa Maria Elisabetta, in Cavallino. The name of the festival derives from the storm (tempesta in Italian) that, over the years, marked the approach of the end of summer: for this reason, this convivial event, entirely linked to local traditions, is held before autumn. The festival is organised by the Contrada di Cavallino in collaboration with the Pro Loco. The stands will be…

The structure, located more than three metres below the current sea level, has already yielded valuable clues about the past: hundreds of…
