Evening with ARPA FVG - Environmental sustainability, marine noise and microplastics
The last of the theme nights organized by our Yacht Club took place with great success on Friday 26th May.
Biologist Claudia Orlandi and physicist Stefania Del Frate from ARPA FVG spoke about their work on marine eco-sustainability, marine noise pollution and microplastics. In particular on the analyses and activities carried out in our Gulf of Trieste.
These topics aroused considerable interest among those present at the evening, which ended with a final toast.
As in the other occasions, the evening ended at the Bris restaurant.
The Yacht Club would like to thank all the members who participated in these “theme evenings”.
Given the interest received, the Yacht Club is studying and intends to propose a new series of evenings in the future.

Friday, April 14th, the fourth theme evening at the Yacht Club Portopiccolo dedicated to the world of bees ended with great success yesterday.
Our guest, the beekeeper Matteo Novacchi, provided an interesting overview of his work giving the participants the opportunity to taste two different types of honey produced by him.
In conclusion, special attention was paid to the “ENO -BEE project bees in the vineyard”.
The evening ended at the Bris restaurant, where the dedicated menu included the inclusion of the same honey in the dishes.

Last night on Friday 17 March we had the pleasure of hosting Andrea Petric, expert gemologist who led us to the discovery of his work and in particular of tanzanite, a mineral discovered in 1967 at the foot of the Merano mountains in Tanzania.
Then we immersed ourselves in the history of Tenuta Villanova tasting first their sparkling yellow ribolla and then tasting their other wines during dinner at the Bris restaurant!
