Venice
- Canal Grande: Lifestyle - Regata Storica. For thousands of years the Regata
Storica takes place every first Sunday of September, the Canal Grande comes to
a standstill and Venetians gather in the Palazzi to watch and party during this
spectacular historical pageant. Typically 16th century-style boats in
period costume carry the Doge and high-ranking Venetian officials up the Grand
Canal in a brightly colored parade, which today precedes the races.

“La citta scoppia di festa
Ammassati su rive e pontili per fotografare corteo e gare”
Il Gazzettino
"The
city bursts with celebration on the banks and piers - people are massed to
photograph the parade and races“ titles Il Gazzettino. So wonderful to see the
interest of so many people enjoying watching and photographing the Regata
Storica.
