Venice: Casanova – The Carnival of Time｜Italy

In the evocative setting of Palazzo Soranzo, overlooking Campo San Polo, enjoy an immersive experience that transports you to the heart of 18th-century Venice. Let yourself be guided by the stories of the campo, the city’s historic heart, as the Carnival becomes the key to opening a window onto an era of masks, intrigue, and unforgettable characters.

Right in front of the palace’s main door, you will encounter a number of key figures from 18th-century Venice, “brought back to life” by the magic of Carnival. Through dialogue and interaction, they will reveal to you who Giacomo Casanova really was: not only the Most Serene Republic’s most famous icon, but a complex, controversial figure deeply connected to the city.

For those who want to enjoy the full experience, the story continues inside the historic rooms of Palazzo Soranzo, with a tour led by costumed guides. Here, you won’t be a mere spectator: you’ll be drawn into the unfolding of the story and will have the opportunity to take part in a mask-making workshop, a hands-on and creative experience that will make the atmosphere of the period even more tangible.

This is the perfect experience for those who want to discover Venice in a different way: more intimate, more theatrical, and authentically “Carnival-esque,” combining history, performance, and active participation.
