Amidst the bewildering ballet of masks, music, and shimmering costumes that is the Venice Carnevale, there exists a unique brand of magic woven not by sorcerers, but by the discerning hand of the wedding planner. While most envision nuptials as affairs of pristine order, Gianluigi thrives in the orchestrated chaos of the festival. His challenge: to transform the city's grand, boisterous masquerade into a deeply intimate, unforgettable backdrop for two souls beginning their journey. With an artist's eye and a general's precision, he navigates the labyrinthine calli and bustling piazzas, securing hushed private palazzos for vows, coordinating gondola logistics amidst masked throngs, and ensuring a bride's dramatic, lantern-lit arrival to a secret garden. He doesn't fight the Carnevale; he embraces it, weaving its velvet robes, gilded masks, and whispers of ancient revelry into the very fabric of the celebration, creating a seamless fusion where the dream of a wedding becomes an exquisite, fantastical chapter within Venice's most enchanting illusion. The result is not just a wedding, but a masterpiece of meticulous planning and spontaneous wonder, a love story painted with the vibrant hues and timeless mystery of Carnevale itself.

The Venice Carnevale is not solely about masks. Local Italians prefer historical costumes or painted faces. There are an increasing number where their costumes carry a social message on current affairs as well.
During Carnevale, the whole Venice becomes a real life theatrical stage, and many of these non masked costumes carry deep perspectives...
