Caorle\u2019s Casoni: history and fascinating facts<\/h2>\n

In Caorle<\/strong>, \u201cCasoni\u201d<\/strong> is the name of the distinctive huts that local fishermen used to build with reeds and wood to provide them with shelter during the toilsome winter fishing season. Thanks to their shapes and the construction methods <\/strong>and materials used, they were capable of withstanding bad weather in the coastal environment and keeping their inhabitants snug and cosy. The entrances always faced south-west, to avoid the icy Bora wind from the East.<\/p>\n

Some of the Casoni have now been renovated and if you ask the owners, they might let you look around <\/strong>and get a glimpse of what life used to be like for fishermen around here.
\nIt\u2019s fascinating to explore inside the structures<\/strong> and look at the items that the fishermen once used, such as the fishing nets that they made themselves and the little trinkets and pictures that they dedicated to the Virgin Mary so that she would protect them when they were out at sea. It\u2019s a great way to discover the secrets of their everyday lives.
\nNowadays, the owners of the Casoni mostly use them to have parties and barbecues with their friends.
\nThere\u2019s a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere in this part of the world, where it feels like time stands still. It\u2019s an amazing place to take striking photos<\/strong> to post on social media.<\/p>\n

There are lots of mosquitos<\/strong>, so make sure you take some repellent<\/strong> with you.<\/p>\n
