The “Trofeo Gaetano D'Alesio” is again the first competition of the rowing season, which is a series of boat races between the quarters of Livorno. Here are the rowers of “San Marco Pontino”.
The boat of “Borgo Cappuccini” coming back, after the turn at the outer buoy.
The boat of “San Jacopo”, with “Ovo Sodo” in background.
“Fabbricotti” was the last to start at the chronometer race.
“Venezia”, the winner of every race last year, triumphed again...See also: Gozzi & Gozzette - Palio Marinaro - Trofeo D'Alesio - Coppa Risi'atori - Coppa Barontini - Venice Takes All

Looks like quite an event to watch too.
Very exciting! You have a wonderful talent for telling a story with images VP. All strong photographs with beautiful color!
How easy it is to observe, from most of your subjects, that you come from a seaside location! Everything has a connection with the sea.
The red in your photos brings a lot of optimism.
Off the topic: because I ended my series about India. Have you changed your impressions from the beginning of those posts? Would you ever travel to India? Just courious :)
That looks like muscle-busting work! The boats also seem wider than shells would be in the USA. Very interesting.
