Carnival in Venice began in the 12th century as a celebration before Lent, but it quickly became something more meaningful...
Behind the masks, social status disappeared, giving people the rare freedom to move, connect, and experience the city without boundaries.
Today, it remains a reflection of Venice’s history and elegance, where tradition, mystery, and artistry come together in a way that still feels entirely unique.
During my recent stay in Venice, I had the opportunity to visit a mask maker and a unique experience visiting a very special atelier.
This is where extraordinary costumes are designed, handcrafted and rented for events like the Doge’s Ball This gala is held annually during Carnival season.
The level of craftsmanship and detail on these costumes is remarkable, and the experience itself was unforgettable.
The opportunity to meet the creator of the gala and learn about her passion for this tradition in Venice was incredibly special.
This private experience can be booked for our clients. If you are planning a visit to Venice reach out for more details 👉
