Thanks to Bucintoro, in addition to the Befana Regatta, there was participation in the 38th Vogalonga on May 27, 2012.
(…) One of the pieces performed was “La Vogalonga”, by Umerini and Arbik; “Noble and classy boats, of all types and colours… rowed the Vogalonga, a race and a party on the sea, ‘festival of the people, the festival of a city” and so it was in fact: voices and songs that morning they echoed on the buildings facing the stage, creating a very amplifying effect in particular. The procession (1802 boats, with 6793 rowers) replied with the gesture of greeting of the “raise the oar”,
during the transit in front of the singers. (…)
