The STORY - Where discipline meets the dream of freedom.
Divinissimi Assi was born from a drawing — a “Pivolo” running across the courtyard of the Naval School in Venice.
That sketch became a spark. Memories resurfaced, stories were shared, and soon the idea of a deck emerged: a tribute to those years of sea, study, and friendship.

Created by former cadet Ardo Quaranta, the project brings together humor, nostalgia, and the discipline that shaped generations of Naval students.
Each illustration reflects a fragment of that life — the early mornings, the laughter in the dorms, the endless laps on the campaccio, and the unspoken pride of belonging to a floating brotherhood.
A deck that carries not just symbols,
but stories of the sea.
