Carnival in the lagoon

More than nine hundred years but still capable of winning a Gala Award (as happened last year) as the best event in the world: the Carnival of Venice, despite competition from "noisy" than Rio, by 1094 remains an historic landmark and 'atmosphere. To confirm that the style of yesteryear continues to distinguish from the other events Venice carnival theme of the event in 2011 (February 19 to 20 and from 26 February to 8 March) will be the nineteenth century with a tribute to the turmoil of the Risorgimento to blows frock and roll or corset and crinoline.


But even if a date with the news for a carnival of living history: David Rampello, artistic director of Carnival and the President of the Triennale di Milano, headline the festival gives meaning to Sissi, dedicated to the heroines of nineteenth-century post-romantic and that build atmosphere of celebration that the 150 anniversary of the unification of Italy inspired everywhere.

Leitmotif that this also liked the celeb expectations in Laguna on March 5 for the "Sabato Grasso" provides that in addition to opening parade and party-mask all night. Among the missed appointments, the Cavalchina Ball at the Fenice Theatre, will sit in the royal box Svetlana Medvedeva, the Russian first lady, that love of the lagoon city has wanted to pay homage to Venice, bringing the collective group of dance Lezghinka of the Republic of Dagestan, who will perform on stage.

Expected to show even Skin of Skunk Anansie, Claudia Cardinale, Pierre Cardin and Marta Marzotto, all strictly in costume. But even a classic (too) limited: the Ballo del Doge at Palazzo Pisani Moretta, designed by Antonia Sautter, is always placed in the top ten of the world's most exclusive events.

For a few: it is not surprising that the list is top secret until the last and plans by the Hollywood stars to heads of state, for about four hundred guests who will take turns on the different floors of the building. And if the claim of the night, Because live is magic, the effect seems ambitious stage of a building full of period costumes and furnishings from the historical novel confirms the incredible atmosphere of this night.
