Regata Storica | Venice | Italy | Tradition | HD

One legend has it that even in the tenth century, peasants already competed with each other during vegetable deliveries to see who would reach the Rialto Bridge first. The ‘reward’ of the winner was the best place in the market, and he could sell his goods at the best prices; the later arrivals had to adjust their places and prices to his. On the basis of another, more romantic explanation, origin of the races was not to be found in vegetables, but Venetian maidens, as in 942 (nine hundred and forty-two) girls who reached the age of marriage were kidnapped by Dalmatian pirates and boatmen raced after them in pursuit. The magistrates of Venice began to urge boat races and the Senate made an edict about the regulations of the Regatta in 1315. The first pictorial presentation of the race comes from 1500, when Jacopo de Barbari immortalized the boatmen on his map between Lido and St. Mark’s Square. According to the picture and period sources, the tournament was not held on Grand Canal as it is today, but on the open lagoon. The tradition of the Regatta lived on even after the fall of the Republic of Venice; the race was held in the honor of Napoleon in 1807 and the Emperor of Austria, Francis, I in 1815. The story of the modern Regatta started in the 19th (nineteenth) century, with an edict from 1841. From that time on, the contest has no longer founded by private individuals. Instead, public funds cover the costs. It was declared that the annual competition would take place on the Grand Canal, but it also limited of boats and that could participate, and ordered that the gondolas must be uniform. For the sake of easier and clearer identification, the teams have distinguished themselves with their own colors since 1843; the current color scheme has in use since 1892. #regata #venice #regatastorica #italy #tradition #travel #travelguide #premiere Thanks for all your support, rating the video and leaving a comment is always appreciated!
