North-east Italy

September 4th 2016                                           Photos by Hetty

The annual Regata Storica takes place on the first Sunday of September – there is a water pageant with lots of decorated 16th century-style boats gliding down the Grand Canal, with oarsmen in costume- quite a spectacle, followed by races

You can see it on You Tube

We had a good spot by St Mark’s
