TRADITIONAL HOLIDAY OF GARIBALDI
The historical personage is Giuseppe Garibaldi, the Hero of Two Worlds, the place Cesenatico and he was running 1849, precisely August 2, when one of the most important pages of the history of Italy, the escape from the French and Bourbon forces, of Garibaldi and of his wife Anita was consuming in this border of Romagna kissed by the Adriatic one.
The Hero of two worlds wanted to reach Venice still besieged by the Austrian and to help the patriots. The port of Cesenatico was one of the principal calls of the Adriatic one where Garibaldi was counting of finding sufficient ship for the embarkation.
And it was like that: it was loaded by twelve fishing boats and a tartana and after a short navigation it was intercepted by the fleet Austrian and neighbour forced to get off to Magnavacca, become then the present Port Garibaldi.
On Saturday 6 and Sunday on August 7, to Cesenatico with the Holiday of Garibaldi that event is recalled and it will seem to us that he will return back in the history. For the occasion hundreds of red shirts will invade the city recalling the embarkation of the Garibaldians and giving life to an only show.
The holiday begins on Saturday on August 6 to the hours 21.30 at the Old man's Squero's on the Port Canal, with the Palio of the Abundance between the Quarters.
In competition nine the civic wards (Villalta, Borella, Cannucceto, Peep/Madonnina, West, Valona, Levante/Villamarina, Thicket and Hall), for a total of 54 "cuccagnotti" with much of standard to the retinue, which they will try the "climb" to 14 metres of the pole strewed with fat.
On Sunday on August 7, to 9.30 the rendezvous is with the historical passing of the Garibaldians, accompanied by the civic Authorities and by the band body “City of Gradara”.
The procession will cross the principal roads of the centre, up to the erect monument to the Hero, in Square Pisacane, the first one built in the whole Italy and one of the rare ones in whose Garibaldi it is not represented to horse.
It is continued by the visit to the old house on the port, where Anita Garibaldi rested.
To the 10.30 in Square Ciceruacchio rendezvous with the “Singing of the Italians”, I harmonise pupils of the Primary School Ada Negri di Cesenatico.
Then, it will be the time of the most striking moment of the manifestation: the excursion on board of motorships and boats with the many-coloured sails to the third and the throwing of crowns between the waves to remember the Fallen of the Sea.
The manifestation will conclude to the hours 22.00, in the free beach in front of Square Costs, with the great show of musical fires of artifice.
