About this activity

In Venice, from the middle of the fifteenth century, the nobles and the wealthy were preceded by a servant called "Codega" equipped with a lantern to enlighten their path in the darkness of night delighting them with anecdotes and stories.
Today, your personal host will guide you through the maze of mystery that belong to the lagoon. A leap in the past that will inspire you to be the actors in a moving mise en scene and will push you in the heart of the life of the Serenissima Republic and its Carnival.

Discover the city secrets! You will learn about Casanova and the Levantine, about the gondolier that become a priest and about the elephant that found shelter in a church. You will discover why an angel was put as a palace guardian and why the bridge between two convents was called "The Devil's Bridge", but also the secret language of fans and the legends of a number of ghosts that is said still live in Venice.

Through the stories of the “Codega” the visitors will be escorted to unusual and secret places of Venice that differ from the peaceful chaos of Carnival, to find out some interesting facts of the history and daily life of the Serenissima Republic.
