Every third Sunday of July Venice celebrates a piece of his history: The Redentore Feast. In 1577 the Doge Sebastiano Venier built a bridge between Le Zattere and Giudecca, just in front of the Redentore basilica (the Redeemer Basilica), to permit a pilgrimage to thank God for city’s deliverance from the terrible plague that killed one third of Venetians.
Every year since then the same bridge across the Giudecca Canal is built and Venetians have a full day of feast and celebration. Have a feeling of the atmosphere in the city in occasion of the Redentore that was celebrated a couple of weeks ago..........
