The meaning of Bricola
What is
a Bricola?
It’s a wooden pole, usually bound together, that rises quietly from the lagoon, guiding navigation through the canals.
It’s a symbol of orientation, of what slowly surfaces and reveals itself only to those who know how to look.
To Venice, it’s a guide.
To us, it’s a symbol: of guidance, of depth,
of a beauty that doesn’t shout but waits to be discovered.
From this meaning comes our choice.
These poles are regularly replaced, and their symbolic value, this testament to time, gets lost.
We decided to honor their potential, recovering them and transforming them into a cutting board: a sophisticated and authentic piece of design. A true fragment of Venice, given new life—impossible to replicate, deeply meaningful, and rich with the quiet story of the lagoon.
