The sea at the center of this spectacle, like the most beautiful stage, the crowds of fans-Amalfitans and non-Amalfitans-fill the city’s skyline, and every corner of Amalfi gives off energy.
Sunday, May 18, 2025, Amalfi will host the 70th edition of the Historic Regatta of the Maritime Republics., among the most anticipated, iconic and heartfelt events on the Amalfi cultural calendar. A rowing challenge that sees, the four glorious maritime cities of Amalfi, Pisa, Genoa and Venice, now meet no longer as rivals, but united by values of civilization, cultural identity and sports.
A plunge into the past, back to its origins
Established in 1955 to celebrate the naval exploits of the four City States that dominated the Mediterranean in the Middle Ages, the Historical Regatta over the years has mutated into a deeply felt event capable of combining culture, entertainment and popular passion.
Amalfi, which was its protagonist back in 1957, is now preparing to experience its 14th edition as host city. The excitement is through the roof.
Today the new official graphic design: four stylized rowers in blue, representing the four republics Seafaring, united today more than ever. An image that is both modern and symbolic, yet deeply rooted in tradition. The choice was to resume-symbolically-that of 1957, when a single rower was depicted superimposed on the flags of the competing cities.
Where will they compete?
The regatta will take place in the stretch of water between the Capo di Vettica and the bay of Amalfi, a breathtaking natural stage that will make the rowing challenge even more beautiful. The boats, totally identical in shape and size, will compete in a race that is not just a competition, but the symbol of a newfound bond.
Amalfi in celebration: among exhibitions, music and culture
As per tradition, the Regatta will be accompanied by unmissable side events planned to make this moment of sharing and culture memorable.
Prominent among them is an exhibition exciting and evocative of the commemorative posters of the 70 editions of the Regatta, a true emotional and visual journey through the evolution-even graphically-of the event.
There will be no shortage of festive moments involving the entire citizenry and visitors, transforming Amalfi into a large open-air theater.
A challenge in the waves
Today, the Maritime Republics have put aside ancient rivalries, leaving room only and exclusively for values of sharing and brotherhood.
History, culture, sports and unity will feature prominently in this 70th edition.
Amalfi is ready. The banners will soon be displayed. Emotions are running high.
All that remains is to be carried away by the rhythm of the oars, the warmth of the crowd and the call of the sea.
