Feast of Redentore in Venice

Like Carnival, the Feast of Redentore is one of the most important celebrations for Venice and the Venetians, but while the carnival is a recurrence of character now "global", the celebrations for the Redentore are still deeply and specifically linked to the lagoon city.

Next weekend Venice will 'dress up' to remember the third Sunday in July 1577 when the Doge Sebastiano Venier announced that the Serenissima was finally free from the contagion of plague. According to the tradition, also this year, apart from the religious celebrations, there will be a firework show that, with the lights reflected on the lagoon, will be able to give truly magical emotions
