Trofeo Uello
The solidary 'Serenissima veleggiata' in memory of Fabio 'Uello' Cavallini
About Trofeo Uello
A regatta that is an act of love
The Trofeo Uello – Serenissima veleggiata is a regatta created by the sailing club Il Portodimare of Chioggia together with the Fondazione Giovanni Celeghin ONLUS of Padua, in collaboration with Vento di Venezia. It was created to remember Fabio 'Uello' Cavallini, a passionate sailor who passed away in 2018 at just 44 years old due to glioblastoma.
Sport and research
The event inextricably links sailing competition with a solidarity cause: the proceeds from the regatta and the evening lottery are donated to the Fondazione Giovanni Celeghin, committed to supporting research so that brain tumors are less feared.
Along the lagoon routes
The traditional course starts from Ca' Roman, passes through the Malamocco port entrance and concludes in Venice, where the boats dock and the convivial and charitable event takes place. An event that intertwines sea, memory, and solidarity in the heart of the Venetian lagoon.
Trofeo Uello — edition 2026
The Trofeo Uello 2026 is scheduled for July 4-5, organized by the sailing club Il Portodimare of Chioggia, as confirmed by the Chioggia sailing calendar 2026.
