Venezia, Canal Grande, From S.Tomà to Rialto
6th January, at 11.00 am
This year’s regatta that takes place every year on January 6th to celebrate Epiphany is a Particular and happy challenge with the oars. Five “rowing” veterans (over 55) are chosen, dressed up as Epiphanies and then have to prove their strength and ability along the Canal Grande (from S.Tomà to Rialto) in a short but true rowing race, obviously in fancy dress, to win the flag (symbol of victory) of the first regatta of the year. They use a typical venice boat “mascareta” with one oar.
