What this solves
The Regata Storica is Venice's historical pageant and rowing race, held the first Sunday of September. ~16,000 spectators line the Grand Canal. The four races (mascaregni, pupparini, gondolini, caorline) happen in sequence after the historical procession. Tourists arrive not knowing where to stand. This tool returns the best spot for your pick.
How to read the result
"Recommended spot" is the best vantage for your pick. "Cost" is the per-person expense. "Race sequence" lists the four races in order: mascaregni (children 14-18) → pupparini (2-row boats) → gondolini (1-row) → caorline (4-row flagship).
The historical pageant opens the event with floats of the Venetian Republic's glory. It is the spectacle — not a race.
