Sunday 5th September, the season of rowing regattas culminates with the Regata Storica<\/p>\n

It’s a day of celebration: the Venetian rowing festiva<\/p>\n

All of Venice seems to be gathered at the Grand Canal, watching the Regata from their own boats<\/p>\n

Venetian rowing is a unique discipline in the world, practiced for millennia in the Venice lagoon<\/p>\n

You row standing and forward, using only one oar instead of two<\/p>\n

while in any other place you generally row sitting and backwards, maybe using two oars<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The regattas in Venice are as old as the history of the city<\/p>\n

they were established early on to train the crews at the oar<\/p>\n

The first visual document of a regatta can be seen in the “Pianta di Venezia”, engraved by Jacopo d\u00e9 Barbari in 1500<\/p>\n

Since then, the regatta has marked the representation of a \u201cfestal\u201d Venice in the works of quite a few generations of artists<\/p>\n

Around 1740, Canaletto (Giovanni Antonio Canal) painted a regatta on the Grand Canal, just like today.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Regata Storica is made even more spectacular by the opening procession of antique vessels that precedes the rowing races<\/p>\n

The brightly colored parade consists of tens of 16th century-style boats, carrying gondoliers in historical costume, the Doge, the Doge\u2019s wife and high-ranking Venetian officials up the Grand Canal<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After the pageant, four separate rowing races along the Grand Canal take place, each one on different boats:<\/p>\n

the first regatta is reserved for the young on pupparini<\/p>\n

the second one for male crews on six-row caorline<\/p>\n

the third one for women on mascarete with two oars<\/p>\n

and the last one, the most awaited and exciting, is the race of the gondolini<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
