Festa del Redentore - Our Savior Festival, July 14-15, in Venice, Piazza San Marco (St. Mark’s Square); one of the best events in Venice, as it combines a religious theme with a spectacular celebration that attracts thousands of visitors every year. The festival celebrates the city’s redemption from a terrible plague in 1576 when, in a desperate attempt to ward off the worst, the Senate decreed that if the city were to be saved, a temple would be built in honor of Christ the Savior. The city survived and the Redentore Church was built. Since then, a pilgrimage has been held every year.
July 14, 7 p.m., hundreds of decorated boats will gather in the Giudecca Canal and in front of St. Mark’s Square; 11:30 p.m. fireworks in St. Mark’s Bay; July 15, 4 p.m., traditional regatta.
