The "Palinuro" in Venice: the magic in magic

THIS IMAGE OF MINE WAS TAKEN ON AUGUST, 28, 2013 BUT

IN THESE DAYS, OCTOBER 25, 2015,

THE PALINURO IS AGAIN IN BACINO DI SAN MARCO IN VENICE....

 

The ship has two main missions: contribute to Cadets training and promote the image of the Italian Navy. In fact the unit hosts summer training campaigns for the Taranto Italian Navy Petty Officers School where the students can experience an intense training programme onboard, including seafaring, safety and security, navigation techniques. During her stops at national and international ports, the unit promotes the legacy of the oldest and most prestigious traditions of Italian seafaring.

 

 

In Roman mythology and especially Virgil's Aeneid, Palinurus, was the helmsman of Aeneas's ship, appraised for his dedication, faithfulness and skills.
