Regata delle Bisse – Bandiera del Lago
The traditional Garda bisse rowing race in Cisano di Bardolino
About Bandiera del Lago
The Bisse, Soul of Garda
The Regata delle Bisse – Bandiera del Lago celebrates one of the oldest and most defining traditions of Lake Garda: the bisse, the typical rowing boats on which rowers row standing up, a legacy of centuries of lake life. The race takes place in Cisano, a hamlet of Bardolino (province of Verona, Veneto).
A Challenge Between Lake Districts
The event is part of the circuit of bisse races on Lake Garda, which pits rowers from different lakeside towns against each other every summer. The "Bandiera del Lago" (Flag of the Lake) is the trophy at stake, contested along the stretch of water in front of Cisano.
Sport and Tradition
Organized by the A.S. Lega Bisse del Garda with the Centro Nautico Bardolino and recognized by the FICSF (Italian Federation of Fixed-Seat Rowing), the race combines the sporting dimension with the cultural one, keeping alive a practice that belongs to the identity of the Garda communities.
