Did the founders of Societá Canottieri Caprera 1883 ever imagine their rowing club, born from a passion for the water and a tribute to Garibaldi’s legacy, would become a Turin institution? Founded in 1883, the Societá Canottieri Caprera chose the name “Caprera” to honor Garibaldi’s exploits. They even adopted red and white as their colors, a nod to the iconic Redshirts. The club quickly made a name for itself, winning at Italy’s first international regatta during the 1884 Turin General Italian Exposition. Initially renting space, the club’s early successes fueled their ambition for a permanent home. In 1885, they inaugurated a new boathouse on land granted by the city. This structure, located on the Po River, became a hub of rowing activity. The Societá Canottieri Caprera, however, faced setbacks. The devastating earthquake of 1900 destroyed their beloved boathouse, leading to a relocation across the Po River. Their new home, completed in 1914, stands near Umberto I Bridge. Today, Societá Canottieri Caprera 1883 is much more than just a rowing club. It’s a place where history, sport, and camaraderie intertwine. The echoes of oars cutting through water and the murmurs of past victories linger in the air, a testament to the enduring spirit of Societá Canottieri Caprera 1883.
