This year we will pay homage to Casanova who returns to his favourite place, the Ridotto Hall, the beating heart of the sumptuous Venetian carnivals of the 18th century, a very popular spot among nobles, players and adventurers of the time.
After the welcome cocktail, the DINNER - prepared by the chefs of the Hotel Monaco - will take place in a magical atmosphere full of appearances that only artists, such as opera singers, dancers, and performers in fantastic Venetian costumes, can recreate.
The vegetarian or meat menu options can be selected at the time of booking.
After dinner, it will take place the GRAND BALL with a classical orchestra, led by the Masters of Dance: a unique experience that combines fun, elegance and involvement.
It is compulsory to wear a PERIOD COSTUME, which can be rented at the ATELIER TIEPOLO (look below for the different offers).

Dandolo Palace, Ridotto Main Hall
The palace of the noble Dandolo was the first place to accomodate the "Ridotto", public gaming rooms from 1638 till 1774. It used to be open during Carnival, which lasted several months, and during that time Giacomo Casanova considered the Ridotto as the stage setting and backdrop for his conquests.
