Voga veneta is a particular stand-up rowing technique developed in and around the Venetian lagoon area, in which a single rower equipped with one or two oars may be enough to move the boat forward.

The elements that characterize it are the standing oar towards the bow, the use of one or two oars handled by the same rower, the need to freely move a perfectly smooth oar, without fixing sleeves, on an open forcola, to facilitate the maneuvers. and steering given the absence of a rudder.
