The Festa della Sensa revives Venice’s thousand-year history and its connection to the sea. Celebrated on Ascension Day, it commemorates key events in the Republic’s history, including the rescue of Dalmatia and the peace treaty between Pope Alexander III and Emperor Barbarossa. The highlight is the mystical “marriage of the sea,” where Venice reaffirms its dominion by casting a golden ring into the waves.
