Years later a winged man performed the stunt thanks to a system of rings that would move him up and down as if he were a real angel that flies down from the top of the Campanile to the loggia of the Doge Palace pouring balloons and confetti on the onlooking crowd and pretending to offer a sceptre to the Doge. After the ceremony, a traditional Sunday Lunch in the Hotel Danieli wonderful hotel rich of tradition and courtesy, designed in the late 14th Century to need the demands of Europe’s traveling nobility.
