THE EXPEDITION

The Settemari on the waters of Scutari: A twinning of friendship in Albania

Venetian rowing regattas on Lake Scutari.

Cultural twinning between Albanians and Venetians.

A way to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the founding of the Settemari association, one of the most important Venetian rowing clubs in the city, with a rowing competition.

On Saturday, the lagoon expedition, led by president Luisa Vianello and Dean Michele Maturi, a lawyer and former magistrate in Venice, will set off for Albania. The expedition was made possible by sponsor Davide Arra, owner of the LERA company and a native of Shkodër.

A bond born in the 14th century between the Serenissima and the Albanian city. Then came the siege of the city by the Turks (immortalized in the paintings in the Doge's Palace), and the friendship that continues today.
