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.

EXQUISITE GLASS ORNAMENTS IN VENICE
The nineteenth-century glass revival
Venezia, 17 March – 20 JuneIstituto Veneto di Scienze Lettere ed ArtiPalazzo Loredan, Campo Santo Stefano
curated by Rosa Barovier Mentasti
The vast and variegated De Boos Smith collection, never previously exhibited, offers a comprehensive and fascinating panorama of nineteenth-century Murano production, from filigree to millefiore, from avventurine to chalcedony, that will also appeal to a non-expert audience.The exhibition will be grouped according to different techniques to allow a better understanding of how ancient works were revived in Murano in the nineteenth century.
An original Renaissance or Baroque piece, the prototype of the technique under consideration, will thus be displayed for each group as an example of the models studied by the nineteenth-century glassmakers.
The Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti will also present documentation of the prizes it awarded at the time to stimulate the glass revival. Given the small, sometimes tiny size of many of the pieces in the De Boos Smith collection, corresponding to the nineteenth-century taste for small, precious objects, a selection of about 300 pieces is envisaged.
Opening times: daily 11am – 6pm, closed on Tuesday

Primavera Prosecco white wine Docg 2010
Visiting the Prosecco exhibitions on the hills of the North Venice
The Primavera Prosecco Docg is the most important wine-tasting circuit in the Veneto region. Until 20th June, there will be seventeen exhibitions to animate the splendid hills of the Trevisan Alta Marca.
In each one, you will have the chance to taste the famous Prosecco Docg from Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, together with other wines from the region, such as Cartizze Docg, Torchiato di Fregona Doc (a rarity among Italian Passito dessert wines), Refrontolo Passito Doc, Verdiso and Colli di Conegliano Doc white and red. And to accompany the wine there will be some tasty genuine local cuisine with typical local dishes and plates from the region.
As in the past editions, to characterise the high quality of wines offered, there will be the Gran Premio Primavera Prosecco Docg, with a special tasting jury who will evaluate all the wines present in the individual exhibitions (from about 400 wine-producers), and elect the "Champions", who will be the flag bearers of the quality wine from the region for the year to follow.
Many various itineraries will be proposed for the occasion, aimed at discovering the Trevisan foothills. From the Molinetto della Croda at Refrontolo, to the Grotte del Caglieron at Fregona, from the Abbey of the Cistercense Monks at Follina, to that of Santa Bona at Vidor; and on to the San Salvatore Castle at Susegana, the Credazzo Towers at Farra di Soligo, the Isle of the Dead at Moriago della Battaglia, the Serravalle castle and that of Conegliano.
The Trevisan Alta Marca is a territory that in just a few tens of kilometres connects the Pre-Alps to the Venetian Lagoon. The tourist who chooses this area cannot fail to appreciate the beauty of the localities and their warm and sincere hospitality.

THE NAUTICAL EXPO – Venice 18-21 March 2010
The international nautical festival comes to Venice
A weekend in the splendid city of Venice to admire and perhaps even try and buy a wonderful vessel. This will take place between 18 and 21 March during the ninth edition of the International Nautical Expo.

This year, besides the most prestigious international brands for large yachts and small nautical vessels, the event also includes chartering for the coming summer season. The organisers aim to enhance the exhibition potential of Venice even more with activities revolving around the sea and the nautical world, and the new edition of the Nautical Expo aims to fly high thanks to the presence of the exhibition yards, the enhancement of quality second-hand boats, and the development of the chartering sector.
Specifically, during the ninth edition of the Nautical Expo an exclusive area will be reserved for chartering, with an invitation to discover routes, vessels and services for those who want to plan their summer season in advance.The Venice International Nautical Expo will also branch out in May during the "May Sea" event, held between 14 and 16 May at the Venetian Arsenal, a venue which is a symbol of seamanship and the art of seafaring. It is an area of great historical, artistic, industrial and cultural value, until now inaccessible for expos and exhibitions.
Useful information: the Expo is open between 10:00 and 19:00 hours. Entrance fee: €13. The Maritime Terminal, venue of the Nautical Expo, has extensive parking. From Piazzale Roma a shuttle departs from the Maritime Terminal every half an hour.
