Burci Boat Cemetery

Highlight • Historical Site

A series of wooden walkways suspended over the water allow you to cross this suggestive and somewhat melancholy bend of the Sile. Here lie the skeletons of the burci, ancient traditional wooden boats used in the past for commercial transport.

Visited today: it looks bald, but we'll wait for the warm season to judge it. In the meantime, take a look at the branches that they cut

The Botteniga is a resurgence river in the Veneto-Friuli plain. It rises a few kilometers north of the city of Treviso (San Pelaio); shortly after it receives the waters of the La Cerca canal, the Pegorile and the Piavesella di Nervesa and then divides into several branches at the gates of the walls of Treviso, near the Ponte de Pria: • The Cagnan Grande or della Pescheria; • The Cagnan Medio or canale dei Buranelli (0.743 km); • The Cagnan della Roggia or Siletto (1.117 km); • The Convertite or Santa Sofia canal (0.882 km, mostly buried); • the canal that laps the outside of the walls on the eastern side (the western one has been buried). This system is actually part of a notable work of hydraulic engineering designed in the sixteenth century by Giovanni Giocondo for the defense of the walls. All the branches finally flow into the hydrographic left of the Sile river. The waters of the Botteniga also feed the spring from which the Cantarane canal flows (0.447 km, now mostly filled in).

The sources of the Meolo river are about 200 m away. from the bridge, unfortunately it was not possible to approach them because they were fenced off. It originates east of Breda di Piave, in the Campagne area, and flows for about twenty kilometers in the provinces of Treviso and Venice, crossing, among others, San Biagio di Callalta and Monastery of Treviso. At the town of the same name, the river bifurcates: the new main axis, maintaining the name of the Meolo river, heads south and flows shortly afterwards into the Vallio; the historic course, called the Meolo flowway, moves towards the south-east and its waters flow partly into the Colatore Principale reclamation canal and partly, by means of a structure that bypasses the previous watercourse, into the Fossetta canal. This situation is the result of the reclamation that affected the Lower Piave and was completed in the 1930s. Along its course there are country residences built by Venetian families between the 15th and the 19th centuries as well as the former Abbey of Santa Maria di Pero

Between 1911 and the 1920s the area was used as a quarry, known locally as the Barina quarry[1], of which a pile of gravel still remains visible. Between the two world wars the area hosted a squero[2]. From the archaeological research carried out between 2014 and 2015[3], it emerged that between the years 1974-75, 13 burci, traditional transport boats, were abandoned on the site, of which three were with certainty (having archaeologists found the documents) of property of the shipowner Dante Bernardi. By comparing aerial photos of the time and photos from private collections, archaeologists have documented that before 1974-75 at least 8 wrecks were already present on the site. Between the late 1970s and mid-1980s, 4 shipwrecks disappeared from the site entirely. Research is continuing to determine further data on the wrecks present and the history of the site which takes its name from the burci, a class of flat-bottomed river transport boats, typical of the P
