Marriage to the Sea
Ascension Day, the Doge climbs into his majestic boat, the ìBucintoro,î and is born to S. NicolÚ del Lido, followed by a fleet of boats decorated for the festival. Upon arrival he throws a wedding ring into the lagoon. On this day, in fact, the Venetians recall their indissoluble marriage with the sea. The celebrations include a historical parade of ships and boats on the Grand Canal and races among gondola drivers. |
