Tradition has it that Venice was founded on 25 March 421, the day on which the splendid Church of San Giacomo di Rialto was consecrated, probably the oldest in the city. A date that can also be traced back to the manuscript source of the Chronicon Altinate and, in more recent times, to the Renaissance historian Marin Sanudo who, describing the great Rialto fire of 1514 in his Diarii, writes: “Solum remained standing the church of San Giacomo di Rialto, which was the first church built in Venetia of 421 on 25 March, as in our chronic leze”.

The celebrations of this incredible birthday sees Venice as the protagonist of many initiatives that will involve numerous organizations, associations and cultural institutions in the area with events that will be reported on the 1600venezia.it portal and included in the appropriate calendar.

The program

The constantly updated program offers a full calendar of events and many interesting initiatives. The possibility of presenting your own event is interesting: according to the regulation, the proposals must have a historical and cultural link with Venice, in its dimension as a city of land and water and may take place in the national territory as well as in other European and non-European countries.

The type of proposals may include both single celebratory events, as well as actions with a longer duration, as well as initiatives of an intangible/virtual nature. The proposed initiatives will be viewed by a Technical Secretariat and screened by the Scientific Committee to assess their feasibility and compliance with the objectives of the celebrations.
