Historical Regatta of the Maritime Republics – Genoa

October 13th, 2024 the fascinating historical commemoration.

The Historical Regatta of the Four Maritime Republics is one of the most famous and fascinating historical commemorations in Italy.

The historical event takes place in turn in the waters of one of the 4 ancient Maritime Republics: Amalfi, Genoa, Pisa, Venice. In 2021 it was held in Genoa.

Genoa (Genova) is going to host this year the 69th edition of the Historical Regatta on October Sunday 13th, 2024

The challenge is among the 4 crews of 8 rowers and a helmsman pushing the Galleons, which are 11-meter boats decorated with the traditional colors of the four cities: blue for Amalfi, red for Pisa, white for Genoa, and green for Venice. The figurehead stands on the prow of the boats, as in medieval galleys.

This year there will also be a women’s regatta.
