Ancient origins with the first evidence dating back to 1094, the Venice Carnival, revived in 1979 after almost two centuries of absence, still preserves its old traditions, honoring a centuries-old history. The Venetian Carnival still means theater, delicious traditional sweets, extraordinary masks, and costumes. And just as during the Serenissima, it knows how to transform private palaces into places of celebration for dances and indulgence.
