Historic parade and competitive regattas along the Grand Canal

01 September 2013

As per tradition, the Regata Storica in Venice 2013 will take place on the first Sunday of September along the Grand Canal.

The Regata Stoica 2013 parade is considered the main event of the annual calendar of Venetian rowing. The Historical Regatta of Venice 2013 on September 1, will begin with the historical procession in memory of the glorious past of Venice, when the Republic was one of the most powerful and influential Maritime Republics in the Mediterranean.

Along the Grand Canal, the fascinating parade of boats which opens the Historical Regatta 2013 in Venice, Italy - the route runs from the St Mark's Basin at Constitution Bridge, and back again, stopping in front of Ca' Foscari, the final destination of the Regata Stoica 2013 in Venezia - recalls the ceremony dedicated to Caterina Cornaro, Queen of Cyprus, on her arrival in Venice after the abdication in favour of the Serenissima. If you are in Venice for the Regata Storica 2013 in Venice, Italy in September you will witness this extraordinary procession, consisting of dozens of colourful traditional boats of the XVI century carrying gondoliers in costumes, the Doge, the Dogaressa and the highest ranking Venetian officials.

The program of the Regata Storica 2013 will continue with the rowing competitions, divided into categories according to age and boat. The most awaited competition of the Regata Storica gondolini 2013, will be the last race of the day!

For all races, the Venice Historical Regatta 2013 will always end in front of the Machina, the large floating stage located in front of the headquarters of the University Ca' Foscari.
