Curiosity, the desire for knowledge, and the entrepreneurial spirit of the Venetian merchants form the foundation of a way of life that has characterized the entire history of the Serenissima, encompassing trade, business, diplomacy, and scientific and geographical knowledge. On the 700th anniversary of his death, Venice celebrates Marco Polo, one of its most illustrious citizens, whose adventure fully embodies the spirit of the city. The 2024 edition of the Carnival is dedicated to the theme of travel, discovery, and encounters with worlds previously only imagined, with a focus turning towards the East, following the traces of the routes that the then-young Marco Polo undertook in the discovery of new wonders. An educational experience across borders and cultures that forever changed the fate of the young ambassador from Venice and the world as it was known then.
