Palazzo Pisani Moretta: benefit for a Healing Garden at the San Camillo Hospital. The
dinner to collect funds for the Healing Garden project (Un
Giardino Per Rivivere) at the San Camillo Hospital on the
Lido, was held at Palazzo Pisani Moretta and was graciously
sponsored by the owners of the palazzo and by the Calieron Confraternity.
A garden for the senses, the Healing Garden is a natural place for
mental and physical stimulation, and as such, is designed to provide maximum
possible sensory richness. The sight is the sense that dominates most of the
sensory experiences, but sometimes, you simply close your eyes and are
receptive to noticing that other senses provide other rich connections.
Chromatherapy and aromatherapy are now two very useful and strategic approaches
to build and order sensory stress therapeutic purposes, but also
"hearing" and "feel" can play a very important role in the
natural area of the garden.

Palazzo Pisani Moretta: Calieron Confraternity.
Some of the eighteen members of the Confraternita’ del Calieron or Calieron Confraternity,
which was founded in 1994 by a group of gentlemen who love good food and drink.
The gentlemen cooks are professional architects, doctors, notaries, financiers,
industrialists, landowners and insurance brokers, two of them also act as
sommeliers. They take pleasure in
gastronomy and when business permits they organize and cook lunches and dinners
for friends in and around Italy, as well as abroad. Their headquarters is at
the Villa Marcello between Padua and Treviso.
Caileron in Veneto dialect is the big copper pot you cook polenta in and
Calieron is also a trophy, which is “up for grabs” each year among the
confraternity in the challenge between the stoves. The winner, chosen by a jury formed by the
wives and invited guests, is elected president for a year.
