Carnival Extravaganza
Salone Ridotto
Get ready for an enchanted experience at the Venice Carnival Extravaganza. Discover the elegance of exquisite costumes, intriguing masks, and parties with eternal charm. A unique event that will transport you to a world of pure beauty and joy.
The guest of honor at the masquerade ball will be Giacomo Casanova, who “returns” to his favorite venue, the Salone del Ridotto (now part of the Hotel Monaco & Grand Canal), the beating heart of sumptuous 18th-century Venetian carnivals, frequented by nobles, adventurers and gamblers of the time.
During the evening, some of the most daring and little-known events that Casanova himself recounted in his Memoirs will be staged.
