Festa della Sensa/Feast of the Ascension
May 12-13, in Venice, about 46 miles east of Vicenza; Sensa is the Venetian dialect word for ascension and it marks the day of Christ’s ascension. It commemorates two important events in the life of the Venetian Republic: May 9, 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 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 in occasion of the Ascension Day Festival. Every year on that day the doge on his barge sailed to Sant’ Elena, one of the Venetian islands. The Bishop waited to bless him on a boat. To emphasize 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. Venice
began to celebrate Ascension Day again in 1965, with the program 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; May 12-13, traditional Sensa market, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; helicopter flights 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; reserve your 10 minute flight by sending an email to [e-mail]. May 13, at 9 a.m. boats gather in the basin of San Marco; 9:30 a.m. start of the water parade towards St. Nicoló Lido; 10:30 a.m., Ceremony of the Wedding with the sea, in front of St. Nicoló Church; 11 a.m. concert by the Serenissima Choir; 5 p.m. women’s twin-oared pupparini regatta; 5:45 p.m. regatta on four oar-gondolas.
