THE FEAST OF SENSA

The Feast of Sensa takes place every day on the Ascension day in May and has got very ancient origins. Its aim is the commemoration of two Venetian victories which actually occurred some centuries the one from the other.
The first victory dates back to the year 1000 when Doge Pietro Orseolo II decided to leave, just on the Ascension day, in order to defend the towns in Dalmazia, which, for some years, had asked for help to Venice against the continuous invasions of pirates from Croatia and Narentani.
Defeated the enemies, the Adriatic Sea became free and safer for the Venetians. For this reason the Town Council decided that every year, on the Ascension day.This Feast is currently celebrated even if, we must confess, decidedly with less glamour. Anyway, still nowadays, the Mayor of the town, on the Ascension day, reaches, on a small Bucintoro used during the Historical Boat-race, the port inlet and gets ahead with the tradition, along with the Venetian rowing Associations, by throwing the gold ring representing:
the union of Venice with the Sea.
