The Festa del Redentore di Venezia or Feast of the Redeemer is a festival that is particularly popular with Venetians as it combines a religious theme with a spectacular celebration that attracts thousands of visitors. Indeed, on Saturday night, the inimitable setting of St. Mark’s Basin hosts a phantasmagorical firework display that lights up the city of Venice.

The Festa del Redentore is a tradition that dates back to 1577. It was first held to celebrate the city’s deliverance from a terrible plague, and the construction of Palladio’s “Redentore” (Redeemer) Church. The Church, built on the Island of the Giudecca, can still be reached by pilgrims during the festival by means of an impressive 330-metre-long pontoon bridge.
