Uello Trophy
The solidarity 'Serenissima veleggiata' in memory of Fabio 'Uello' Cavallini
About Uello Trophy
A regatta that is an act of love
The Uello Trophy – Serenissima veleggiata is a regatta conceived 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 the age of 44 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 Giovanni Celeghin Foundation, 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.
Uello Trophy — edition 2026
The Uello Trophy 2026 is scheduled for July 4-5, organized by the sailing club Il Portodimare of Chioggia, as confirmed by the 2026 Chioggia sailing calendar.
The 'Serenissima veleggiata' renews its dual sporting and solidarity spirit: the proceeds are donated to the Giovanni Celeghin Foundation for brain tumor research, in memory of Fabio 'Uello' Cavallini.
