The 7th edition of the Santa’s Regatta, organized by Ca’ Foscari, will take place on the Grand Canal this Saturday, December 17th, starting at 9:30 am. The regatta, which has become a tradition for the university, will see champions and amateurs, men and women compete on board "mascarete" (traditional Venetian boats) in the Grand Canal, all wearing Santa suits. The race begins at San Marco (Pietà) and ends in front of Ca’ Foscari. To accompany the race there will be a water parade composed of "caorline" and dragon boats.

To crown the day of celebration, children will be taken by boat with Santa and his elves.

It is also worth noting that on Thursday, December 22nd, the Sports activities office at Ca’ Foscari will be giving some sweets to the children hospitalized in the pediatric ward of the Hospital San Giovanni e Paolo in Venice and, if resources are sufficient, in other wards as well. The delivery of these gifts will be made in "caorline" boats, with students at Ca’ Foscari.

All who wish to contribute to the success of this initiative can bring sweets, candies and chocolates to the Ca’ Foscari Sports Activities Office or even participate directly in the delivery. For more information, please contact  sport@unive.it.

 

We acknowledge the precious contributions of the sponsors Gruppo Argenta and Veniceat@Ca' Foscari.
