A gondolier rows his gondola with a bunch of red roses on the 25th of April. During Republican times, it was tradition that on April 25th (St Mark's holy day), a red rose blossom be offered to one's beloved as a token of love. The tradition allegedly started with Maria, daughter of the Doge Angelo Partecipazio, who fell in love with young Tancredi.
