Venice Carnival 2016

A Carnival with the people of Venice, that will involve all the various cities of Venice and focus on the city’s arts, trades and traditions. This will be the general format of the first Carnival of Venice organised by the new artistic director of the event, Marco Maccapani.

The 2016 edition, drafted today by Maccapani, will begin on 23 January and end, in line with tradition, on 9 February, Shrove Tuesday; but indeed, given the very early date on which it is scheduled to start, this year, Carnival will be a sort of extension of the Christmas celebrations, which start at the beginning of December and will also take place throughout the entire municipality.
