Historical Regata of Venice

The historical regata is the most important event for the venetian rowing sport, sport which has long tradition within the venetian culture. Nowadays the spectaculous defilee of 16th centuray boats with gondoliers in historical costumes carring the Doge, the Dogaresse and all the high ranking members of old venetian magistrature has gained more and more importance. Whatching this colourfull and historical event is like stepping back in the past of the old and powerful marine republic of Venice, the biggest republic of the mediterrainian seas.
