VENICE BY NIGHT

Night is the best time to enjoy the magical of Venice: the crowd of tourists are gone or are resting, tired, after long walks. The reflection of light off the surface of the canals and the way light shines from the windows give a different dimension, more intimate. The sounds change: the plashing of water, the echo of the footfalls and of the voices in the empty spaces, show the city’s true dimension. Enjoy your night far from the places bound by tradition and the beaten track. Do you want to find out what a museum is like at night? Museums by the moonlight: from May 19 on Fridays and Saturdays, The Doge’s Palace is open until 11 pm. On Saturday, June 17th Artnight, the night of art will keep more than hundreds museums and institutions, private galleries, bookshops and exhibiting spaces open until late. Venice most-famous night is the night of the Redentore. on July 15th. Once the fireworks are over, the boats head for the Lido where, in keeping with the tradition, people wait the sunrise. And if you want experience Venice at dawn in a different way, you can join the 5.30 run on July 14th.

25th April 2017 – Feast of Saint Mark – Feast of “bocolo”

Tuesday, April 25th, Venice celebrates the Feast of Saint Mark, the patron Saint of the city, a party full of history and meanings, with the traditional custom of each Venetian to make a gift of a rosebud to his life partner, or even to Mom and daughters.

To feel in every way a true Venetian, April 25th you have to run the flower shop to grab a bud field of red rose and you have to give it to your beloved, to your mother, daughter or sister. The tradition of the gift of “bocolo” (which means bud in Venetian) is a fixed rule on April 25th in Venice and foundations found in the most ancient city legends.

The myths that narrate it are two and both versions are accepted. The first narrates the love between the noblewoman Maria Partecipazio and Tancredi the troubadour, hampered by social diversity; the second is about the rose garden which was located close to the tomb of St. Mark.

In either case, the gift is associated with the love for a woman.
