As Venice will be listed by october 2013 as a World Monument Watch by the World Monuments Fund due to the passing of the ocean liners within the city, young venitian are calling up for the restoration of a vandalized venitian boat.

In the neighbourhood of Santa Croce, parked in front of the San Giacomo del Orio church, a sandalo wooden long venitian, has beeing ruined by non identified vandals using it as toilets. The owner of the sandalo got to meet those young venitians part of il Caicio (a venitian boat restoration organization). Together they decided to restore that boat within a socio-cultural project to aware people about the traditional venitian boat heritage in partnership with ICI – Istituto Culturale Internazionale – Magazzino del Caffe’ – Venice.

To accompany the restoration, local venitian organizations will be involved to sensibilize children, schools, parishes, old people, neighbours. The restoration zone will be open to the public. Potscard presenting the project will be given out in the neighbourhood, sensibilization booklet offered to kids. Once the sandaletto restored, it will turned into a community boat to be used and shared by all people that partcipated to the restoration work and the inhabitants of the neighbourhood.
