Venice - Canal Grande – Palazzo Barbaro - Lifestyle - Regata Storica Lunch.For thousands of years the Regata Storica takes place every first Sundayof September, the Canal Grande comes to a standstill and Venetians gather in palazzi to watch and party during this spectacular historical pageant. Typically 16th century-style boats in period costume carry the Doge and high-ranking Venetianofficials up the Grand Canal in a brightly colored parade, which today precedes the races. Again this year many palazzi hung banners Venezia e’ Una Vera Citta’ – Venice is a real city - in protest against the degradation of the beautiful and unique Lagoon city.
