here they are! the 12 “Marys” of the Venice Carnival 2022<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Revived by the visionary director Bruno Tosi in 1999 and over time became one of the key events of the Venice Carnival<\/p>\n
the “Festa delle Marie” recalls a historical event that really happened<\/p>\n
It was the year 973 when in the church of San Pietro di Castello, during the annual celebrations dedicated to the purification of the Virgin Mary, twelve Venetian girls were kidnapped by a group of Dalmatian pirates<\/p>\n
After a chase organized by Doge Pietro Candiano III, the girls were freed and brought back to Venice<\/p>\n
Since then, the Festa delle Marie was celebrated every year in the lagoon city with methods and rites that changed over the centuries<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the modern revival, the recurrence is usually opened by a procession made up of 12 girls and over 300 extras who, recalling the kidnapping of the young women, parade from San Pietro di Castello to Piazza San Marco<\/p>\n
The Covid pandemic and health restrictions will not allow the usual procession to take place this year<\/p>\n
and not even the flight of the Angel that traditionally sees the winning Mary of the previous edition’s competition descend from the bell tower towards the square<\/p>\n
but the 12 Marys will, in any case, be the protagonists, in the city and on the mainland, of events, visits and parties in the palaces<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The 12 Marys of Carnival 2022 are:<\/p>\n
Alessia Alberti, 23, of the Lido of Venice<\/p>\n
