Circolo ARCI Cervignano APS under the patronage of the Ministry of Culture - Regional Directorate Museums Veneto and in collaboration with Museo Nazionale Concordiese with the contribution of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region Municipality of Rivignano - Teor and Cassa Rurale FVG under the patronage of PromoTurismo FVG and the collaboration of numerous public and private entities.Braida is an artist of cultured and extravagant painting born in Gorizia a city that has always been unpredictably fertile with talent The exhibition investigates what was the influence on Braida’s works of the specific territorial connotations linked to his origins and what the importance of his training at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice (the city where he has lived and worked for many years) that have led him today to exhibit in the best Italian galleries Pastis is thus a small compendium of his research Braida is an artist with a vivid imagination but also Lady Gaga and Captain Harlock coexist At first glance ’dirty,’ ironic his works actually conceal a delicacy and purity of vision that the artist has been able to protect and preserve to this day from the world of childhood On display will be a dozen sculptures scattered among the archaeological finds inside the showcases on the upper floor and among the remains on the ground floor of the museum where a large canvas suspended in the central aisle will welcome visitors to this original exhibition An in-depth look at his painting will also be hosted at the Magazzini del sale of Villa Ottelio Savorgnan in Ariis di Rivignano-Teor

Marco Polo airport I'm staring out of the window at the birds-eye view over La Serenissima's maze of canals But from up here it's also clear that Venice is not much more than a dot in a lagoon that stretches over 200 square miles And this is just the beginning of a spider's web of wetlands – lagoons deltas and wildlife reserves – that line the Adriatic as far as north Trieste we pick up a hire car and set off along the Adriatic shore – the litorale – in the direction of the beach resort of Lido di Jesolo The road from the airport is soon running along the northern edge of the Venice lagoon the holidaymakers are all following signs to Jesolo but we turn off right towards the vast valli da pesca (fish reserves) that occupy much of this northern part of the lagoon we are stopped by the gatekeeper of a quite surreal bridge over the Sile canal: it's a ponte a pagamento (toll bridge) resting on second world war pontoons and we part with 70 cents for the privilege of crossing The lane gets narrower and narrower as we enter the barene the otherwordly sandflats that stretch as far as the eye can see There's not a house or a person in sight: just heron, egrets and geese skimming the still waters As with many of the tracks across the barene, this one goes nowhere, but fortunately the dead end is also the site of Agriturismo La Barena an ancient redbrick farmhouse overlooking the lagoon This is the perfect place to get a feel for life in the wetlands: the Vianello family "My grandfather built this house 100 years ago," Michele Vianello tells me "and what I want is for tourists to come out here and see a different kind of Venice – the Venice of the lagoon We could be a million miles from the crowds that teem around San Marco every day This is another world; just listen to the silence – all you can hear is the quacking of ducks the peaceful agriturismo bursts into life as people flock to its restaurant The Vianellos grow all their own vegetables and catch fish using traditional cogolo trapnets set across their fish reserve Everyone opts for the seven-course set menu at €25 you could end up feasting on Veneto specialities such as chicken liver risotto wild duck and beef with fiery horseradish and garlicky parsley pesto or a delicate vegetarian menu using baby artichokes radicchio and the distinctive cardoons that grow in the lagoon's sandy Michele plots us a route through the misty barene This sleepy fishing village is famed for its bilance da pesca dozens of huge nets suspended over the estuary that are winched down into the water once a day but somehow still tolerated in Italy's grey economy especially as all Cortellazzo's restaurants buy fish from the bilance Caorle, a few miles further east, was immortalised by Ernest Hemingway in his 1950 novel Across the River and into the Trees so it is tempting to stop off at its expansive lagoon But apart from the brightly painted fisherman's cottages in the historic centre Caorle has turned into a bland modern resort Marano looks out on to one of the most stunning wetlands on this part of the Adriatic and a birdwatching paradise in the Stella river delta There are no beaches on this stretch of coast with 300 of its 2,000 inhabitants still working as fishermen where passengers sail across the lagoon and enjoy a meal of traditional lagoon cooking – freshly caught bream Unique to these Adriatic lagoons are the casoni spartan fishermen's huts built on isolated sandflats from canna palustre bamboo-like reeds that grow in these estuaries Marano has more than 30 beautifully preserved casoni and he invites us for a lunch of freshly caught grilled cefalo Glauco tell us that conditions used to be far more harsh: "The casoni date from before motorised boats and it was too far to go back and forth each day So living in the casoni was very rudimentary – no water Women were not even allowed as conditions were too hard – sometimes a dozen fishermen to a hut It is difficult today to imagine Aquilea as a grandiose Roman city the whole of whose floor is taken up by fourth-century mosaics: the scenes of fishermen look little different from life in the casoni today After Aquilea fell to the armies of Atilla the Hun founding first Grado and then Venice itself Arriving in Grado is spectacular: you drive for 3km across a low bridge that seems to float across the lagoon Before hitting the town we take a boat out to the mystical Isola di Barbana an island sanctuary that has been drawing pilgrims since medieval times then carry on to the most eastern point of the lagoon This is a commercial valle da pesca that has been returned to its original state In spring and autumn, the ancient port of Grado is a delight, with fishing trawlers moored on a canal in the centre of town. In summer it morphs into one of the Adriatic's busiest beach resorts. There are dozens of bars and restaurants, but we timidly push open the door of what looks like a private osteria in Calle Merlato, the Circolo Sociale dei Graisani de Palù and we learn that it is the bar of the fishermen's co-operative But visitors are made to feel right at home who could be Brian Clough's long-lost twin Grado boasts many excellent seafood restaurants, but for good value – and the freshest fish – you'll find that it is difficult to beat this trattoria, which is owned by the fishermen's co-operative. Don't miss out on a steaming plate of spaghetti con cappelunghe, a dish of succulent razor clams, costing €12.• Riva Dandolo 22, +39 0431 80287, zeromiglia.it Just by the waterfront of Cortellazzo, Al Gambero is an old-fashioned trattoria where the fish, straight off the boat, could not be fresher. Steer clear of the menu turistico, though, and follow the locals, ordering a €20 platter of grigliata di pesce – sole fillets, delicate red mullet, huge scampi, baby cuttlefish – easily enough for two. • Piazza del Granatiere, +39 0421 980375, ristorantealgamberojesolo.com Claudio Moretti also owns the cheap and cheerful Osteria Porta del Mar in Marano Lagunare but splash out a little more in this smart trattoria where he cooks creative seafood himself – grilled plump prawns on a bed of spinach or sea bass carpaccio with tangy pickled vegetables This cosy old-fashioned osteria is near the Tagliamento river. A glass of local Friulano white wine costs €1 at the bar of the wood-beamed dining room. Tasty rustic dishes include pumpkin risotto and thick steaks grilled on an open hearth. Main dishes cost €15, and there are also three beautiful B&B rooms at €70 a night.• Via La Rotta 21, +39 0431 520674, mirandamario.com Just outside Aquilea, the friendly Gottardo family run this agriturismo B&B, and also make wine, raise pigs for salami and prosciutto, and cook the food served in their restaurant at weekends. Mains, from only €7, include roast duck with grilled radicchio, juicy pork chops or creamy baccalà, salt cod. • Via Grado 19, +39 338 1874794, larosta.it sandy peninsula between Venice and Trieste I found this place while staying at the hotel next door I popped in to sit at the bar for a prosecco and a huge plate of food arrived in front of me… the gondoliers are often a LOT less stressy and more likely to show some good humour and tell you about the city budget travellers - students in particular - could thumb their way around the continent The Macedonian U15 national team finished 6th at the 20th Torneo delle Nazioni Città di Gradisca d’Isonzo international tournament The tournament was held from April 25th until May 1st in several cities in Italy Twelve countries took part in this tournament Our national team finished second in its group therefore it played in the play-off from 5-8 place In the first match Macedonia won 1:0 against Wales while in the match for the fifth place the team suffered a 2:0 loss against Italy Austria won the tournament by beating Slovenia in the final after penalty shoot-out I thought it was North Macedonia – am I wrong Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value"
