Masquerade in Venice: discover the most beautiful Carnival parties!
Venice masquerade party: Carnival in Love
One of the most longed-for events of Venice Carnival 2024 is taking place in a magnificent Venetian palace, the Palazzo Ca’Zen ai Frari.
This Venetian palace was built at the end of the 14th century by Carlo Zeno, “Capitano da mar”, hero and winner of the Chioggia War led by Venice against Genoa.
Located in the San Polo district, near the Frari Basilica, Palazzo Zen is a magnificent example of a 15th century residence of the Venetian nobility. Today the palace is still owned by the Zeno family, one of the richest and oldest in the history of Venice. Inside you can see the neoclassical ceilings of Sebastiano Santi.
