Vacations
July! Time to have some vacations. It could be a good time to think about a swimming mask with corrective lenses, or just a good time for a pair of coloured sunglasses, with polarized lenses, good for mountain or for the beach. Whatever you need, we have it!

St. Martin’s Day
San Martin xe ‘ndà in sofita/ a trovar la so novissa./ So novissa no ghe gera,/ el xe ‘ndà col cuo par tera/ viva viva san Martin/ Viva el nostro re del vin!/
San Martin m’ha mandà qua/ che ghe fassa la carità./ Anca lu col ghe n’aveva,/ carità el ghe ne fasseva/ Viva viva san Martin/ Viva el nostro re del vin!/
Fè atension che semo tanti/ E gavemo fame tuti quanti/ Stè tenti a no darne poco/ Perché se no stemo qua un toco!/
Se si è ricevuto qualcosa si prosegue con:
E con questo ringraziemo/ Del bon anemo e del bon cuor/ ‘N altro ano tornaremo/ Se ghe piase al bon Signor/ E col nostro sachetin/ Viva, viva S.Martin./
Se non si è ricevuto niente invece si canta:
Tanti ciodi gh’è in sta porta/ Tanti diavoli che ve porta/ Tanti ciodi gh’è in sto muro/ Tanti bruschi ve vegna sul culo./
E CHE VE MORA EL PORSEO!
This month we dedicate our windows display to St. Martin from Tours. Life of the Saint can be found in Wikipedia, but unfortunately it does not tell the venetian part of the story. In Venezia we usually celebrate the Saint with our children going from shop to shop, Read more
Happy 71st anniversary
71 years ago, Urbano descended the Molinà river in order to start his first paid job. The Cargnel factory had been lately bought by the Tabacchi family and renamed S.A.F.I.L.O.
We thank all of those who shared with Ottica Vascellari its 70th year, now gone by, and hope they will keep up the enthusiasm in the future!
Happy anniversary, Urbano!
