The Grand Ball with a touch of theatre in the heart of the Venetian carnivals
CARNIVAL EXTRAVAGANZA at the Ridotto
In the Hall of the RIDOTTO, heart of the somptuous carnivals of the 18th century where nobles, gamblers and libertines
such as Giacomo Casanova were regulars, it will take place one of the most creative parties of the Venice Carnival in Costume® program.
