Carnival of Venice: Il volo dell'angelo – The angel’s flight

Was on 31-Jan-2016.
So many people were waiting in San Marco square.
The last year Marie, acted as the angel, would fly down from the bell tower up to the stage.

Below is quoted from website.


The “Angel’s flight” 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 hommage to the Doge and will be greeted by the crowded parterre of the period costumes parade of the historical renaissance.
As a conclusion, the embrace between the Angel and the Doge will smooth the atmosphere of a square galvanized by scenographical effect always appreciated by the italian and international networks.
