The Sea for Everyone in Friuli Venezia Giulia region (Italy)- the inclusive experiential and sports initiatives organized by Tiliaventum-Sea4All in Lignano City continue to grow in popularity, much to the delight of participants.

The packed weekend of May 9 and 10, featuring sailing, cycling tours, motorcycling, and much more, is proof of this.

Tiliaventum is the sports association based in Lignano (Italy)) that has been offering year-round water sports activities to everyone for decades, thanks to its accessible headquarters and nautical base, accessible sailing and motorboats, various aids and equipment, trained technicians and staff, and numerous volunteers who make themselves available as needed.

The weekend of May 9 and 10 was packed with activities: Sea4All by Tiliaventum offered a wide range of initiatives: from training sessions for volunteers on inclusive sailing trips aboard accessible vessels, to a bike tour for everyone along the coastal bike and walking paths of the Lignano peninsula, to Team Aylin competing in the Lignano-Duino regatta, to the acrobatic Remo on two wheels during the European and Italian trials at Mugello—all taking place in conjunction with the Lignano Sabbiadoro Municipality's Sports Festival.

Saturday, the 9th: a sunny and breezy day dedicated to classroom instruction and training for volunteers, testing and mapping the site, and aboard the accessible sailboat Càpita.

Sunday, the 10th: a 19-km inclusive bike tour along the coastal bike and pedestrian paths of the Lignano peninsula (along the lagoon, canals, and Tagliamento River, and the waterfront) featuring bicycles, tandems, tricycles, mechanical and electric-assisted wheelchairs, while the crew aboard the Aylin sailboat participated in the Lignano-Duino coastal regatta in light winds, finishing 6th overall and 2nd in the Delta class.

The trip to Mugello (motorcycling) by the versatile sports member Remo Marinato proved fruitful and consistently podium-worthy: Race 1 on Saturday—2nd place in the Italian and European Championship round—and Race 2 on Sunday—2nd in the European Bridgestone Cup and 3rd in the Italian Octocup Championship round.

The wealth of opportunities offered to everyone by the regions of Friuli Venezia Giulia is abundant, just as the day at sea must conclude with festive, relaxing social gatherings accompanied by local delicacies.

Initiatives free of physical (architectural), mental, and economic barriers (free for participants) continue with open houses, courses, boat trips, sailing excursions, immersive excursions into the lagoon's stunning natural scenery, inclusive teams in the Upper Adriatic regattas—including the Barcolana event—educational activities in schools, testimonials, and collaborations with institutions, ETS, health authorities, and sports organizations.

Fair winds and smooth seas for everyone in Friuli Venezia Giulia - Italy
