When two boats collided after fireworks at Venice’s “Feast of the Redeemer” on Saturday night, a young man fell into the water and died. The body was recovered by divers, the rescue units reported. The collision took place near the island of San Giorgio.
At the end of the fireworks, the boat carrying the man and two young women collided with a motorboat. The man fell into the water and did not resurface: he was found dead by divers from the fire brigade.
The accident is being reconstructed
The two women were unharmed. The police are now trying to reconstruct the course of the accident.
The “Festa del Redentore” (Feast of the Redeemer) is a celebration of liberation from the longest plague wave Venice has ever known, lasting from 1575 to 1577. Since then, the celebration has taken place every year on the third Sunday of July. On a similar occasion, on November 21, in gratitude for the liberation from the plague in 1630-1631, the “Festa della Madonna della Salute” is celebrated.
