I Battelli del Brenta
The passenger boat operator " I Battelli del Brenta" (The
boats of the Brenta Canal) provide enjoyable guided public cruises,
from Venice to Padua or vice-versa, along the Brenta Canal (Riviera del Brenta), visiting some of the Venetian Villas, summer residences of
the 16th century, with stops at the monumental palaces with its legendary
frescoes.
Once along this waterway sailed the “burchielli”,
boats that carried the Venetian nobleman; nowadays all the boats that cruise
along the Brenta Canal are called “burchielli”.
The company "I Battelli del Brenta" has many boats
carrying from 70 to 135 passengers and romantic "Burci", restored wooden old
barges.
