The flowing river accompanies the walk and the multisensory exploration of the place. Following, you reach key locations in the area, almost as if it were inviting me to pay attention to them.

It can be accessed in a two-way manner, following almost a duplicate route: you can proceed from the area furthest from the town centre, immersed in greenery and so tranquillity and natural sounds, until you arrive where the 'Telaio Bike Cafe' is located – a more chaotic, bustling and boisterous place; another route might start from a more chaotic situation to a more peaceful one. Depending on how you travel along this stretch, the route takes on different nuances and connotations that are determined by your choices. It is a place that everyone can access, yet at the same time it seems like a niche, secluded, frequented only by those who are aware of its existence.

The name of the bar, ‘Telaio’ (meaning chassis or frame), continues to be the symbol of a language explicitly aimed at a specific and defined category of people: cyclists. However, people who do not practise any sport also enjoy this the place. Another language I would add is the mammoth mural painted on one of the walls of the building used as the headquarters of the Civil Protection Agency, because even if the sign indicating the location is not immediately read, it can be recognised by the uniform Superman is wearing.

Besides the neglect and litter left behind by those passing through and engaging in leisure activities, there are further contrasts in the photographs that can be observed in the colours and materials: for example, one of the photographs shows a particular spot where cardboard or plastic cat kennels have been installed, contrasting sharply with the rusty railings of the hydroelectric power station and the grass growing luxuriantly below. It is a mixture of materials that evoke nature, human activity and community, but also the control and management of water through the water outlet. The 'Telaio' and the murals play the role of splashes of colour in this environment characterised by the typical colours of a natural setting. People also stand in stark contrast to the local wildlife, both users and participants in this ongoing transformation. Despite these contrasts, they generate dynamics that contribute to building and transforming the surrounding landscape and express coexistence, cohabitation and coexistence.

You can hear footsteps along the dirt path, the sound of bicycle tyres grinding on gravel, a few dogs barking, the chatter of people passing by, or else the silence of those who choose to enjoy the sounds of nature or listen to music through their headphones. You can hear the wind rustling through the vegetation, the people at the bar and their jabbering, laughing, joking and playing of instruments. It is a place free of traffic noise, as if there were an acoustic barrier between the water and the main road.

The 'Telaio', the murals and the hydroelectric power stations remain landmarks along the route, leading to a clear identification and recognition of the place where you are thanks to the strong symbolism used.

Sports enthusiasts and recreationists use the route as both a passage and a meeting point. Those who choose to enjoy it on a bicycle create a complex tapestry with their different origins. Many decide to stop at the bar or on the embankment, while others are only momentary, passing, ephemeral.

The cat shelters indicate a sense of community among those who silently care for these creatures, while the space is tangibly used by sports enthusiasts and recreational users, who are highly visible. If you stop, you don't tend to do so at a completely random point, but rather choose a focal reference point such as the “Telaio”. Many recreationalists express their artistic flair by playing musical instruments here, whether skilled musicians or beginners, finding tranquillity and inspiration in the riverbanks and flowing water.

The space is open, both for the walk itself and for the bar. The latter, in fact, is not enclosed by four walls but rather creates a sort of spatial continuum with the path and the surrounding environment. However, despite being open to everyone, it remains a niche location, a hidden gem far from traffic and city life, frequented only by a certain group.

The hydroelectric power stations are spectres and temporal portals of what was once the intense activity of controlling and monitoring the Bacchiglione river. The ‘Telaio’ acts as a spatial portal thanks to the fact that it welcomes and allows the gathering of people from other cities, regions and countries.

The canal and hydroelectric power stations are the result of a morphological transformation of the territory by man, as is the arrangement of the route with the raising of the embankments. It's not clear how long the bar has been open, but if it has become this popular with sports enthusiasts and locals, it means that it has managed to forge strong bonds with its patrons.

At its forking point near the Voltabarozzo Bridge, the Bacchiglione River finds a way to embrace and surround the island of Terranegra and accompany anyone walking alongside it. Water is an indispensable element for the beauty and functionality of this place: it is life for the local fauna, it is breath for those who enjoy these spaces away from the air pollution of the city, it is beauty in the eyes of the beholder.
