Events and Landmarks of Neo-Venezia
January 14th, 22:55
Landmarks
• Marco Polo International Spaceport: gateway into town for all aerial craft. Originally a palace for immigrant governors who oversaw colonization during the Mars Migration Project.
• San Marco Square
• Saint Mark’s Basilica
• Clock Tower & Bell Tower
• Tall Tower: symbol of Saint Mark, and on top is a winged lion. 14 winged lions in St. Mark’s square.
• Bridge of Sighs: In old Venice, building on the right was a prison, and the left was a courthouse. Bridge between them overlooking the town below.
• Island that represents Japan is full of shrine gates
• Hot spring in Neo-Venezia was once a mansion, but it was turned into a hot spring by the owners
• A popular tourist attraction is a bunch of wind turbines on a hill overlooking Neo-Venezia. The route is crowded canals, and this is the promotion test for Pairs to Singles.
• Kannarejiyo Post Office is the central post office of Neo-Venezia
• San Marco Plaza's Open Cafe: Cafe Florian
• Follows the shadow of the clock tower since the cafe serves wine. Direct sunlight makes the wine go bad, so they move all the outside tables with the tower's shadow.
• Was an established shop in Earth's Venice, but before Venice sank, the interior of that shop was dismantled and stored before it was brought to Neo-Venezia
Events
• Vogare Longa
• At the end of autumn to welcome winter
• 30th annual at vol. 1
• Gondola marathon
• Vogare: to row, Longa: a long time
• Biggest autumn event
• 32 km course, takes 4 hrs for fast gondolas to finish
• New Year’s Eve
• People gather in Saint Mark’s Square
• At the stroke of midnight, everyone throws something because of the custom in Italy. This was so that people could forget the bad things that had happened that year.
• Eat beans on New Years, since beans symbolize wealth, so eating beans will bring good luck
• Greetings are Buon Anno (Happy New Year) and Auguri (just a celebratory shout)
• Carnival
• Huge feast and people walk through town in costume for 10 days
• Started as a celebration before Lent
• Bauta stands are where you buy the masks. It’s customary to wear a black cape and a mask.
• Casanova is the carnival icon, a large tall figure who is rumored to have been the same person since the festival’s origin over 100 years ago
• Acqua Alta is the very high tide that floods the city. It’s caused when the south wind and the tide overlap with changes in barometric pressure. Because of the variable currents, it’s not safe to be in boats or go out, so the residents take it easy.
• Festa del Boccolo is the day when men give a single rose to the women they love. It’s celebrated on Saint Mark’s Day.
• Thanksgiving festival is actually the Redentore, which is a festival to give things for the end of the plague. You sit in decorated boats, eat, drink, and party the whole night to watch the sun rise the next morning.
