Redentore

Redentore is a popular festival that combines the sacred and profane, as Venice celebrations often do.
Redentore is the celebration most loved by Venetians, to remind the end of the plague in 1577, one of the most disastrous plagues in Venice history, still commemorated today with "the famous night of fireworks", on the 3rd Saturday of July.
That plague is believed to have been brought in the city by flea-infested mice carried back from the Orient by Venetian trading ships.

Last night we all went out to see them from Giudecca. AMAZING!!!!!
