Venetians in historical dress row down the Grand Canal, led by the famous Bucintoro boat (bottom L), from the Doges Palace to the Rialto bridge in Venice September 5, 2010. On the first Sunday of every September, hundreds of Venetians pile into the long boats that have plied the citys canals for centuries for the Regata Storica (Historical Regatta), a historical procession that commemorates the welcome given to Caterina Cornaro, wife of the King of Cyprus, in 1489 after she renounced her throne in favour of Venice.

In this photo print, Venetians dressed in exquisite historical attire gracefully row down the majestic Grand Canal. The iconic Bucintoro boat, leading the procession, can be seen at the bottom left of the frame. This enchanting scene took place on September 5th, 2010 when hundreds of locals gathered for the annual Regata Storica (Historical Regatta).

This photograph beautifully captures both the grandeur and cultural significance associated with this remarkable event.
