Art night Venice 2012

Enjoy a free evening of art, music and entertainment as Venice’s most prominent arts and cultural institutions swing open their doors.



A crescent moon, shaped unmistakably like the metal prow of a gondola immersed in a sea of indigo is the symbol chosen for Art Night Venice, scheduled for Saturday, June 23rd 2012.

From sunset until late at night the whole city will become an open air show, and several events - of all sort of arts, including music, cinema, literature and poetry - will attract art lovers around the canals and along the Grand Canal, which will turn into a fascinating stage.

Museums, galleries, foundations, public and private venues will swing open their doors and leave free entry to all who want to discover their secrets. Even the bookshops will open their spaces to visitors, and all the shops will stay open until late.

It will also be a way to know the city from other points of view: under the starry sky of the lagoon city, you can explore the hidden Venice and lesser known works of art.

VENICE CARNIVAL 2012 (till 21 February)

The CarnivalRe-launched two decades ago, the Carnival was immediately regarded both in Italy and abroad as an event not to be missed.
Venice Carnival is steeped in history, charm and tradition: its inhabitants and tourists alike have taken a keen interest in it, thanks to its mix of transgression, art, history and culture in one of the most unique cities in the world.
During the ten days of Carnival leading up to Mardi Gras, Venice is a hive of activity and entertainment, from improvised street entertainment to performances put on by the organisers.
A central idea is chosen each year that is taken from various cultural or show-biz themes.
Saint Mark's Square remains the heart of Carnival, with its huge stage, although other events take place throughout the city, helping to avoid an excessive build-up of people in pedestrianised Venice.
----------------------

HistoryThe Carnival has its roots in many traditions, from the Latin feast of Saturnalia to the Greek feast of Dionysian cults. The Venice Carnival lasted for a few months, with public festivities, private parties, fireworks, street entertainers, and this certainly helped to create the image of Venice as a city dedicated to pleasure.
-----------------------
Carnival in the 18th centuryDuring its final century of power appears concentrated on life's more exterior and frivolous pleasures. During this period Carnival, with its parties, entertainments, masks, theatres and public gaming house, became a tourist attraction for the whole of Europe.

-------------------------
The theatresVenice's theatre season was the richest in Europe thanks to the many theatres in the city: Sixteen theatres were active in the 17th century.The Goldoni Theatre and the historic Malibran Theatre take centre stage during the mixed bag of events. The Fenice reopened in 2003 offering first-class performances after the completion of lengthy and complex restoration.

--------------------------

The MasksDuring the last days of carnival the city teems with people in masks who happily invade streets and squares in search of fun and getting themselves noticed. It's possible to see every kind of costume, from static and icy 18th century noblewomen to the most inventive modern costumes.
---------------------------
Traditional sweetsThe traditional sweets of the Venice Carnival are Frittelle and Galani, which are symbols of the Carnival itself

Venice Carnival from the 11th to 21st of February 2012

"LIFE IS A THEATER. IT’S TIME TO GET MASKED"

The Carnival of Venice 2012, renews the city’s ancient ‘liaison’ with its spectacular performances- the staging of the Commedia- which had its own unique historical relationship to the famous masks of the Carnival.From the 11th to 21st of February, and with a colourful preview on February 4th and 5th, we are going to celebrate and remember Venice as the ancient capital of modern theater - with over 25 active theaters throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth century. Furthermore we are going to recall the sense of disguising: the discovery of a new "character" of our personality through the wearing of a costume. We want the festival to turn into a major event of performing arts, in which each visitor of the city becomes a protagonist of this famous Festival that is a fundamental part of our country’s cultural heritage.The city of Venice will be the host of different scenic shows and events in main Campos and on the Grand Canal featuring concerts, live performances by international artists and mask parades. The Carnival offers a daily and diverse artistic program in the Grand Theatre of St. Mark's Square and in dozens of other public art spaces from early in the morning until late at night. Put on your mask and we will see you in Venice, where life is a theater!

The Vogalonga 2010 in Venice Lagoon

36TH edithion – Sunday May 23

This event originated 36 years ago with the aim of making Venetians aware of the problem of swell created by engine-powered boats, thanks to the initiative of a group of Venetians who were lovers of rowing and of the traditions of the "Serenissima". Since then the number of participants, especially from abroad, has continued to grow, with entries totalling up to 1500 boats. In the morning a large number of boats of every type and shape gather in St. Mark's Basin opposite the Doge's Palace to await the start; they then set off on a roughly 30 kilometre long course that winds its way among the lagoon islands before returning to Venice along the Rio di Cannaregio to finish at the Punta della Dogana. The success of this event not only encouraged the creation of rowing clubs but also stimulated the then dying crafts of boat restoration and construction. Participation in the Vogalonga, a non-competitive event, is also an opportunity for everyone to rediscover the lagoon, its landscapes and its habitat.

FESTA DELLA SENSA IN VENICE

The enchantment of the city's marriage to the sea is back

Sunday 16th May 2010Every year Venice attracts millions of visitors to events that are famous the world over.

The Festa della Sensa, is one of the city's best known festivals that bring to life its thousand year history and its close ties to the sea and the art of "Voga alla Veneta" rowing.
The Sensa (Ascension Day) Festival was celebrated by the Venetian Republic on the day of Christ's Ascension.

Sensa is the Venetian dialect word for ascension. It commemorates two important events in the life of the Republic: one on 9 May in the year 1000, when Doge Pietro Orseolo II came to the rescue of the inhabitants of Dalmatia, who were under the Slav menace.

The second event took place in 1177, when, in the reign of Doge Sebastiano Ziani, Pope Alexander III and Emperor Frederick Barbarossa signed the peace treaty in Venice that put an end to the century-long diatribe between the Papacy and the Empire.

The rite of the Wedding with the Sea used to take place on the occasion of the Ascension Day Festival.

Every year on that day the Doge on his state barge, the Bucintoro, sailed to Sant'Elena, at the level of San Pietro di Castello Church.

The Bishop waited to bless him on a boat with gilt sides.

To emphasise the Serenissima Republic's dominion over the sea, the Festival culminated with a kind of propitiatory rite: the Doge sailed to the channel between the lagoon and the sea and threw a gold ring into the water.

La Sensa todayThanks to the Comitato Festa della Sensa, Venice began to celebrate Ascension Day again in 1965, with a programme that goes far beyond mere re-evocation: the Gemellaggio Adriatico ("Adriatic twinning") project now links the Serenissima Republic with a city or a geographic area that has had a special historical relationship with Venice, joined in a bond of culture, love of the sea and the activities connected with the sea.

In the 2010 edition of the Festival, the ring that is its symbol will pass from the Province of Bergamo to the City of Larnaca (Cyprus).

In addition to this, the Festival is the occasion for the award of the "Premio Osella d'Oro della Sensa", which is given to public bodies, institutions and private citizens that have given lustre to the city by means of their activities in the spheres of culture, crafts and trade.

Part of the commemoration today will be the Doge's procession in San Marco Square, the Sensa Market at the Church of San Nicolò on Lido, Venetian style rowing races, a water parade by the local rowing clubs, the Fort of Sant'Andrea Festival and many other events that confirm that the Sensa today is a great time for meeting and fully realising the value of Venetian history and traditions: it is the festival of the city itself and its relationship with the sea.
