The regatta sees Amalfi participating along with Pisa, Genoa and Venice. The regatta, which has been held annually since 1854, was created to commemorate the splendor of the Maritime Republics, which from the 10th to the 18th century wrote an important part of Italian history, and also that of other countries bordering the Mediterranean. In fact, thanks to their centrality in maritime commercial traffic, they managed to greatly improve the local economy, leading to remarkable development. The historic regatta of the maritime republics is held every year in one of several locations: in Amalfi, or in Pisa, on the Arno River, or even in the Venice Lagoon, or in the port of Genoa.
