Fishing balance nets (or "bilancioni") are a historical and landscape peculiarity of the lower course and mouth of the Piave River. They are large square nets (which can exceed 30 meters per side) mounted on wooden stilts and operated mechanically, which have characterized the tradition on the border between the hinterland and the Venetian Lagoon for centuries. They consist of a large net lowered into deep waters, operated by a winch or modern motorized systems. There are more than twenty of them, concentrated mainly in the floodplain area and near the mouths, particularly in the Cortellazzo area and the Jesolo coast. Born in the 18th century for family and subsistence use, many of these private structures have been passed down from father to son. In recent years, they have evolved, integrating fishing activities with fish farming tourism or fishing tourism.

The Cortellazzo Bridge, located in the homonymous fishing village in Jesolo, is a characteristic mobile structure that crosses the artificial Cavetta canal, a vital waterway connecting the Sile and Piave rivers. This bridge plays a crucial role for both road traffic in the area and inland navigation, allowing the passage of recreational and commercial vessels. The structure opens exclusively by telephone reservation during dedicated time slots, which differ between the summer and winter seasons, thus ensuring a balance between road and river traffic. Beyond its practical function, the bridge represents a historical symbol of Cortellazzo's identity, linked to the tradition of fishermen and the historical land reclamation works of the Veneto region.

The ride itself is very relaxing on a racing bike, given the time of year. The return route is much better, with much less traffic and secondary roads along the river. Next time, I'll always ride the same way there and back. Happy TOUR, everyone! 💪
