Venice - The Redentore Feast-day

The Redentore Feast-day
The third Saturdays' night of July

The Redentore is one of the Venetians' most treasured festivities, and it is a tourist attraction thanks to the spectacular firework display in the evening. It falls on the third Sunday of July, when the Holy Mass and a very big religious procession are held in the presence of the Patriarch. But the special moment of the festivity takes place on Saturday night; in the magic backdrop of Saint Mark's Basin, a play of lights and reflections produce a kaleidoscope of colours with the silhouetted spires behind domes and bell towers of the city.

The weekend concludes with a gondola regatta.

The plague

In the three years between 1575 and 1577 the Serenissima was tormented by the plague: aided by the high density of the population, the disease spread through the city, causing almost 50,000 died witch

was more than a third of the city's inhabitants.

The vow

On Septmeber 4th, 1576, the Senate decided that the Doge Alvise Moncenigo should announce the vow to erect a church dedicated to the Redentore (Redeemer), in return for help in ending the plague.

 The end of the plague

On July 13th, 1577, the plague was declared definitively over and it was decided that the city's liberation frm the terrible disease should be celebrated on the third Sunday in July every following year.

A more popolist aspect soon accompanied the religious one of the festivity, representing liberating times after such sadness.

In order to cross the Giudecca Canal and allow procession to cross over into the church, a mighty bridge of boats was built in the festivity's very first year and this element still characterises the celebrations today.

Voices could be heard from the bridge or the votive church (The Church of the Redentore, buit by Andrea Palladio in 1577) of people either walking or travelling in festively decorated boats. This conferred the festivity with a more porfane aspect, in which devotion intermingled with fun and entertainment.

It was a night of wakefunleness, the "gamous" night, which ended only at daws.

The Redentore today - The "famous night"

Tradition dictates that at sunset the well illuminated boats, decorated with boughs and coloured ballond, begin congregating in Saint Mark's Basin and the Giudecca Canal.

In the boat, there are either carefully prepared or hastily put-together tables laden with traditional Venetian dishes for dinner.

Everyone eats, drinks, dances and jokes whilst waiting for the firework show, which begins at 11.30pm and lasts until after midnight.

Then the boats, according to tradition, set off slowly for home or the Lido to wait for sunrise.

For this event we provide the exclusive chartering of our boats; rates on request

BOAT TOUR “From Burano to Venice

The itinerary leaves from Venice with a characteristic boat and we sail to the Venice Northern Lagoon discovering its islands and valleys, a series of unique locations in the world rich in nature, history and traditions.

During the tour you'll have the opportunity to taste some Venetian typical food, included in the total cost.

Burano: is composed of four islands connected by bridges. It lies near Torcello, in the Northern part of the lagoon, and is world-famous for its lace-works. The island, known as the "Pearl of the lagoon", offers unique suggestions to painters and photographers, thanks to its popular houses, painted in vivacious and conflicting colours. In addition to the lace production, the island is also known for its intense fishing activities. Its most famous citizen is certainly Baldassarre Galuppi, nicknamed the "Buranello", to whom the central plaza of the island is entitled. Baroque musician, born in Burano in 1706, he was a composer of many sonatas for harpsichord and important melodramas for texts of the famous theatrical playwright Carlo Goldoni.

San Francesco del Deserto: San Francesco del Deserto is located between Sant'Erasmo and Burano.

The island is an oasis of great peace and quietness, covered with ancient trees, fields and gardens cultivated by the monks. It has a surface of about 4 hectares and houses a Franciscan monastery where 10 monks still live in. The island has been frequented since Roman times, but it was named after St. Francis who landed here in 1220, on his return from the fifth Crusade.

Lazzaretto Nuovo: is located in front of St. Erasmo littoral. In 1468 on the island was built a hospital for the isolation and quarantine of ships, goods and people coming from the East, that entered Venice; in the "Teson Grando" there are still numerous writings dating from the end of XVIth century, indicating the ownership and the origins of commodities.
