πŸ“œπŸ“ΈVenice Celebrations Series. Festa del Redentore
This weekend in Venice is dedicated to the ancient Festa del Redentore (Redeemer). This comes every third Sunday of July!
On the Saturday's eve there are fantastic night fireworks and Saint Mark's basin begins to fill up with Venetian boats of all kinds, festooned with balloons and garlands.
The #Redentore is a traditional feast to give thanks for the end of the terrible plague of 1576, which killed 50,000 people in Venice including the great painter #Tiziano Vecellio (Titian). The Doge Alvise I Mocenigo promised to build a magnificent church if the plague ended.
Andrea #Palladio was commissioned, assisted by #AntonioDaPonte, and built a majestic church (πŸ“Έβ˜οΈ) on the Island of Giudecca, which today is one of the most important examples of Palladian religious architecture.
On the Redentore Sunday, there's the traditional pilgrimage to the Church which is reachable on a bridge made of boats (πŸ“Έβ˜οΈ) across the #Giudecca Canal.

She's not aware yet 🀫 of how lucky she will be on Saturday night when I'll take her to my exclusive place in #SanMarco to watch #Redentore fireworks πŸŽ†

And from which US state she's coming? πŸ’½β˜οΈ
