The traditional “Festa delle Marie” will start at San Pietro di Castello and it will reach San Marco stage at 4.00 pm, where the twelve “Marias” will be introduced to the crowd waiting for them. It evokes the homage that the Venetian Doge offered every year to twelve beautiful but humble venetian girls, offering them magnificent jewels as a bridal dowry. The “Festa delle Marie” is articulated in different days and it is the opportunity to admire the traditional venetian period costumes. The event will be inaugurated Saturday 23rd of February, with the parade of the twelve girls selected in the previous weeks.

It is a traditional event that goes back to the Serenissima period where an unknown guest of Venice, flying along a rope from San Marco bell tower to the middle of the square, will offer an homage to the Doge, and will be greeted by the crowded parterre of the period costumes parades of the Historical Re-enactments.
As a conclusion, the embrace of the Angel and the Doge will smooth the atmosphere of a square galvanized by scenographical effects always appreciated by the Italian and international networks. The girl winner of the 2018 edition of the “Festa delle Marie” (Marie contest), will be the Angel of the new Carnival 2019.

To welcome him, on stage of San Marco, twelve young ladies from Venezia, the “Marie” will greet the flag. The event is a ritual full of emotions, to say goodbye to the 2020 Venice Carnival.

Also on 5^th March: the Festa delle Marie Award Ceremony. At 4.00 pm there will be the crowining ceremony of this Carnival’s winning Maria on Piazza San Marco.
