What are the Bisse?
They are typical boats from Lake Garda, used for standing rowing or Venetian rowing (a particular technique in which a single rower can be enough to move the boat)
They are about 10.5 meters long, have a flat bottom, and have 4 rowlocks (called "forcole"), one for each of the standing rowers (point rowing). The absence of a keel, in addition to allowing for considerable maneuverability, also gives greater stability to the vessel. For centuries, it has been a traditional fishing and competition boat in the countries overlooking Lake Garda.
