CITY OF VENICE OFFICIAL MERCHANDISE

Products commemorating the 1600th anniversary of the Foundation of the City of Venice (421-2021)

---

In seventeenth-century Venice, smoky grey, a dark colour tending towards black, was a sign of elegance and sobriety, while the red of the Venetian banner was linked to naval flags, the colour of the dominion of the Eternal City over the Mediterranean seas, and also the colour of passion. These are the main colours that have been chosen for the commemorative products to celebrate the 1600th anniversary of the foundation of Venice, March 25, 421 - March 25, 2021.

A text from the Chronicon Altinate on the side of caps and tops tells of the origins of Venice, which date back to the consecration of the oldest church in Venice, the church of San Giacometo, on March 25, 421. Only quality yarns have been used; double twisted cotton, a natural yarn for the three-dimensional embroidery and micro-embroidered taping for the internal sweatband of caps and tops bearing the #ENJOYRESPECTVENEZIA motif.

Moreover, we have also included a way of communicating and making these products unique and inimitable. An NFC chip has been inserted in each product so that you can check that it is an original City of Venice product. Simply by using a latest generation smartphone you can scan the NFC Tag, which will then automatically take you to a dedicated page on the City’s tourism portal, Venezia Unica, where you will find information and updates on events that are taking place to celebrate the City’s 1600th anniversary.
