Venetian tradition.

of a historical procession in costume recalling the welcome given in 1489
to Caterina Cornaro, bride of the King of Cyprus; the second, of a series of intense
challenges aboard typical regatta boats.

the bridges and quays along the circuit.

of over two hundred events will offer an extraordinary opportunity for learning
more about this topic, which is considered a true art in Venice.
