About Festa della Sensa
The Fèsta de ƚa Sènsa was a feast of the Republic of Venice held on the occasion of the feast of the Ascension (in the Venetian language, Sensa) and still celebrated as a recreation today. It commemorated two significant dates in the Republic's history; the first being May 9, 1000, when the Doge Pietro II Orseolo decided to conquer the allied Croats and Narentines, protecting the interests of Venetian trading colonies. The aforementioned date marked the onset of Venetian extension in the Adriatic.
