Easter boating in Veneto: stories and traditions

Easter in Venice: an unforgettable experience

Venice is one of the most romantic cities in Italy, famous for its canals, historic palaces, and timeless charm. Easter is a perfect time to visit the city, both for the mild spring weather and for the numerous activities organized for the holiday.

One of the most exciting attractions during Easter in Venice is the traditional exchange of painted eggs, which takes place in St. Mark's Square. On this occasion, the Venetians gather to exchange hand-decorated eggs, a symbol of rebirth and prosperity. In addition, an Easter market is held in the square, where you can buy souvenirs and typical Easter sweets.

Veneto, and particularly Venice, has undergone various cultural and religious influences from the East and has absorbed different customs from the rest of Italy.
For example, the egg, typically Eastern and a symbol of regeneration, has become the absolute protagonist of many typical Easter dishes, such as fugassa, a homemade sweet with very ancient origins, depicted in the mosaics of Herod in St. Mark's Basilica. Another unmissable activity during Easter in Venice is the procession of the Mysteries, a parade of historical costumes that takes place on Good Friday. The procession starts from the Church of San Giovanni in Bragora and crosses the streets of the historic center, arriving in St. Mark's Square. It is a very evocative event that attracts thousands of tourists every year.
