Venice will miss you too this year.
G...Hi Diane! Venice will miss you too this year. <br /><br />Great question. Actually, Giudecca canal is closed to vaporetto traffic during the fireworks portion of Saturday night. The Spirito Santo vaporetto stop, the one closest to the votive bridge, is closed from July 4 to July 29. The vaporettos are still able to go under the temporary bridge. <br /><br />Cruise ships are not allowed up the Giudecca Saturday and Sunday because they can't get under the temporary bridge. The last span is put in place Saturday afternoon, then the bridge is opened to foot traffic on Saturday at 7pm. It stays open until sometime Sunday evening, then the middle span of the bridge is taken out and pulled away by barges, the canal is reopened to cruise ships on Monday. <br /><br />I'm hopeful I'll be able to get some good video of Saturday and Sunday with my new GoPro. Crossing my fingers!<br /><br />Thanks!<br />Karenkarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02387141835879842596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7956489623554999361.post-42572144197841769692016-07-13T15:09:24.656-04:002016-07-13T15:09:24.656-04:00Hi -- I miss not being in Venice this year.

Just one question -- I suppose that the Giudecca canal is closed to boat traffic during the weekend of the Redentore.Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08249874735043959774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7956489623554999361.post-81592820350076920382016-07-12T12:04:22.187-04:002016-07-12T12:04:22.187-04:00Michelle- Not sure you'd want sound from Reden...Michelle- Not sure you'd want sound from Redentore, the noise coming off the party boats can be deafening! And they fill the lagoon and molo. But the fireworks should be just as spectacular via webcam.
