EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the magical and historic atmosphere of Venice, Italy during the grand celebration of "Fete de la Sensa" in 1866. The Canale Grande, the main waterway of Venice, is illuminated by the reflection of fireworks exploding in the night sky. The gondolas, iconic symbols of Venetian history, glide gracefully through the shimmering waters, adding to the enchanting scene. The Fete de la Sensa, or Feast of the Ascension, was an ancient tradition that marked the beginning of the Venetian maritime year. It was celebrated with great pomp and pageantry, including a procession of the Doge, the ruler of Venice, and the blessing of the sea by the Patriarch of Grado. The fireworks display was a highlight of the festivities, illuminating the city and reflecting off the water in a breathtaking display. This photograph, taken in 1866, offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Venice during this time. The image captures the essence of the city's unique charm and beauty, with its labyrinthine network of canals, colorful buildings, and gondolas. The fireworks and gondolas in this photograph serve as a reminder of the city's enduring allure and its connection to the past. This photograph is a valuable historical record of a significant moment in Venetian history and a testament to the city's enduring charm. It invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and sensations of Venice during this grand celebration, transporting us to a time when the city was a center of maritime power and cultural influence.
