Description:

Be part of a medieval tradition amid the Carnival's extravaganza of colors, masks, and costumes. Travel through a festival among masked, timeless faces as a codega (guide) reveals the secrets and traditions of the Carnival.

The Carnival of Venice is a timeless and theatrical celebration of excess that attracts musicians, acrobats, theater troupes, and revelers from around the world. Masked partygoers dressed in elaborate 18th-century costumes drift through the crowd and pose elegantly in St. Mark's Square, the focal point of the festivities.

Your codega guides you through the Carnival, revealing the traditions behind the revelry. Even the concept of the codega, a Venetian character who would guide wealthy visitors through the city, stretches back hundreds of years.
