Yesterday Venice had its annual
Historical Regatta, a
traditional rowing competition whose origins date back to the 13th century and is held
each year on the first Sunday of September. As it coincided with the
Venice Film
Festival, photographers were probably busier snapping pictures of
George Clooney and fellow stars... so there's
not much online about this year's event yet, but for your visual enjoyment here's a quick
selection of
images from
past e
ditions of the
reg
ata (more from
this gallery of last year's event), showing both the
rowers in the
actual
competition as well as the
historical p
arade in
traditional costumes; a few black and white images from the past
(sorry, small and not good quality but still interesting): the
regata in 1918, in
1956, in
1969, and
in the 1970's; and, from the age before photography,
famous p
aintings and
engravings.
