Apparently, and this is a shock to me, Pirate Day IS celebrated in Venice during the time when I'll be there according to http://www.talklikeapirate.com:
Venezia - "Finally the Talk Like a Pirate            Day has landed in Italy and what shore would have been better than the            number one maritime city's? Next to Venice, from September 17th to 22nd,            at AeBricole Pub, Grog will flow, challenges will take place among the            buccaneers (such as the olive-stone spitting contest) and you must not            miss the exclusive pirate menu with its special, the Kraken Fillet.            Absolutely free entrance for everyone." - Pub AeBricole, via            Martiri della Libertà 381, 30174 Mestre - Venezia ITALY
I really hope I have time to find this place and it's not some creepy dive. Anyways, happy Pirate Day to all of ye scrappy scurvy-infested grog-snarfing parrot-loving sea-dogs! If ye be needing more extra-piratey-goodness, check out my blog post from last year: CLICK HERE YAR!
