(Venice, Italy)

In previous centuries this Feast-day held an important role in the social and political life of Venice. If,historically speaking, the Sensa is the result of the overlapping of civil and religious rites and events through the ages, today it is read as an event to celebrate the intricate relationship that the city has always had with the sea, both in commercial and architectural terms.
