SUMMARY:Regatta of the Ancient Maritime Republics
DESCRIPTION:The Regatta (Palio) of the Ancient Maritime Republics is a competition on eight-oared galleons among the crews of the cities of Amalfi\, Genoa\, Pisa and Venice. The event is held in a different city each year\, combining a fascinating historical and cultural message with a spectacular competition. These four cities have competed in the 2\,000-meter race since 1956. Each of the four boats competing represents one of these “maritime republics\,” with the sculpted figure head at the prow of the boat proudly declaring the boat’s alliance — the winged horse (for Amalfi)\, the winged dragon (Genoa)\, the eagle (Pisa) and the lion (Venice). Parades and revelers donning medieval garb top off the festivities! The regatta is always preceded by the solemn historical parade\, famous for the precious costumes\, that introduces the atmosphere of the competition. \nThe four cities are present with actors that wear colorful and precious costumes reproduced by ancient models\, flags\, trumpets and drums. Every group has the assignment to remember and to re-enact episodes and characters of the maritime history of its own city\, and therefore of the whole country and its role in the Mediterranean sea. A sea that unites the contenders and has a double meaning: once scenery of sour battles\, but also net of communications and exchanges built by navigators\, merchants\, artists and scientists of the four Maritime Republics\, it represents the most extraordinary example of interaction between different people and nations. \nNote: Dates have not been confirmed; please visit the event website for updates. \nAccess 160 Issues of Our Award-Winning Travel Publication.

SUMMARY:Venice: Festa del Redentore
DESCRIPTION:The Redentore Feast (Feast of the Redeemer) is a deeply felt celebration in Venice as it combines religion with entertainment\, thanks to the Saturday night phantasmagorical fireworks’ display attracting thousands of visitors: a kaleidoscope of shades\, from a game of light and colors on the inimitable setting in St. Mark’s Basin\, lights up the spires\, domes and bell towers of the city. At dusk\, plenty of boats traditionally decked out with flower festoons\, colourful balloons and brightly Chinese lamps begin to flock into both St. Mark’s Basin and the Giudecca Canal. Waiting for the firework display\, which starts at 11:30 p.m. and lasts late into the night\, people enjoy a sumptuous dinner of traditional Venetian specialties. The spectacular festival is held every third weekend of July and is second only to Venice’s Carnevale. \nThis tradition dates back to 1577\, right at the end of a terrible plague. The Redentore Feast was first held to celebrate the construction of the Palladio’s Redentore Church\, built on the Giudecca Island to give thanks for being freed from the Black Plague. Celebrations include the Holy Mass presided by the Bishop and the religious procession to the Palladian basilica\, which can be done via an impressive 330-meter pontoon bridge. The weekend finishes with the Regata su gondole\, a gondola race organised as part of the Voga alla Veneta rowing season. \nDream of Italy is a membership website and award-winning travel publication publishing 170 issues since 2002.

SUMMARY:Ferragosto
DESCRIPTION:It’s the summer and in August many Italians are looking forward to Ferragosto which starts on August 15th. It’s known as a two-week vacation period with roots in ancient Rome. When Emperor Augustus invented the feriae Augusti to mark the end harvest he also made it a moment that signified a period of well-deserved rest. Later\, during the fascist regime\, this time of the year was used to promote travel within the country\, including discounts on train voyages to see all the beauty that Italy has to offer. Today it is still a largely celebrated holiday. \nIn Rome\, on the evening of August 15th (the Feast of the Assumption)\, the piazze are filled with the performances of professional dancers for the Gran Ballo di Ferragosto. Squares throughout the city are enlivened by performances of all walks of life\, from tango to rock\, hip-hop\, ballroom dancing\, and more\, with a giant concert in the Parco Archeologico of Teatro Marcello\, as well! \nDream of Italy is a membership website and award-winning travel publication publishing 170 issues since 2002.

SUMMARY:Ferragosto
DESCRIPTION:It’s the summer and in August many Italians are looking forward to Ferragosto which starts on August 15th. It’s known as a two-week vacation period with roots in ancient Rome. When Emperor Augustus invented the feriae Augusti to mark the end harvest he also made it a moment that signified a period of well-deserved rest. Later\, during the fascist regime\, this time of the year was used to promote travel within the country\, including discounts on train voyages to see all the beauty that Italy has to offer. Today it is still a largely celebrated holiday. \nIn Rome\, on the evening of August 15th (the Feast of the Assumption)\, the piazze are filled with the performances of professional dancers for the Gran Ballo di Ferragosto. Squares throughout the city are enlivened by performances of all walks of life\, from tango to rock\, hip-hop\, ballroom dancing\, and more\, with a giant concert in the Parco Archeologico of Teatro Marcello\, as well! \nDream of Italy is a membership website and award-winning travel publication publishing 170 issues since 2002.

SUMMARY:Venice: Festa del Redentore
DESCRIPTION:The Redentore Feast (Feast of the Redeemer) is a deeply felt celebration in Venice as it combines religion with entertainment\, thanks to the Saturday night phantasmagorical fireworks’ display attracting thousands of visitors: a kaleidoscope of shades\, from a game of light and colors on the inimitable setting in St. Mark’s Basin\, lights up the spires\, domes and bell towers of the city. At dusk\, plenty of boats traditionally decked out with flower festoons\, colourful balloons and brightly Chinese lamps begin to flock into both St. Mark’s Basin and the Giudecca Canal. Waiting for the firework display\, which starts at 11:30 p.m. and lasts late into the night\, people enjoy a sumptuous dinner of traditional Venetian specialties. The spectacular festival is held every third weekend of July and is second only to Venice’s Carnevale. \nThis tradition dates back to 1577\, right at the end of a terrible plague. The Redentore Feast was first held to celebrate the construction of the Palladio’s Redentore Church\, built on the Giudecca Island to give thanks for being freed from the Black Plague. Celebrations include the Holy Mass presided by the Bishop and the religious procession to the Palladian basilica\, which can be done via an impressive 330-meter pontoon bridge. The weekend finishes with the Regata su gondole\, a gondola race organised as part of the Voga alla Veneta rowing season. \nDream of Italy is a membership website and award-winning travel publication publishing 170 issues since 2002.
