The Redeemer is a popular event important in
Venice. Sacred and profane come together and celebrate into the night. Famous
as the carnival, but closer to the soul of the Venetians, is celebrated on the
third Saturday of July in memory of that distant 1577 when Venice came out from
one of the most serious epidemics of plague in Italian history. The legend
tells how the disease was spread by fleas from infected rats, descended from
the Venetian ships, which at that time were commercial carriers between Venice and the East. We
celebrated by eating, as customary, on the edge of the channel, with a table of
food and drink, till the explosion of the fireworks, which lasted half an hour!
