The Rowing Season 2009
Apr-27-2009
Every year from April to September, in Venice and on the lagoon, there are more than 120 regattas, in addition to the famous Historical Regatta.
Many of these races are spontaneous; eleven are promoted by the Municipality of Venice in collaboration with the Rowers' Associations and the Co-ordination of the Rowing Clubs with the aim of keeping alive a sporting practice which originates from the very nature of the city. Many of these regattas coincide with traditional festivities and festivals where the race once represented an occasion of not only true popular but also institutional glory.

La Regata di Castello o del XX settembre. Sembrerebbe il classico annuncio di una prossima regata, ma non è così, in quanto è una vecchia regata che si teneva tra l'Ottocento e il Novecento a Venezia. Una regata su gondola ma è anche il titolo e l'argomento dell'ultimo libro scritto dallo storico Giorgio Crovato.
On 10th May at 4 p.m. there is the Regata of Mestre, the event that opens the Rowing Season. The most famous champions of the row will participate at the regata which is disputed on 6 rows caorline.
The week end of the Redentore feast will end with the Redentore Regatta, the departure and arrival of which is the Tempio Votivo of Redentore. The regatta is visible from the fondamenta that coasts the Giudecca Canal.
