Sensation: Venice Carnival 2008

This year the City of Venice gives to all its hosts the opportunity to live a deep and unique experience: Sensation, the 2008's Venice Carnival celebrations. It represents a very original way to visit Venice. Everyone of the 6 Sestieri, the quarters that compose the city, has been associated with a particular sense: Dorsoduro with Touch, Santa Croce with Smell, Cannaregio with Taste, Castello with Hearing, San Polo with Sight and San Marco with the 6th Sense, the Mind.

Until February 5th, this wave of emotions will lead all of us into a revolution of perceptions and feelings, to enjoy Carnival and Venice in every single sense.

Spheres of the Heavens, Spheres of the Earth

Until 29 February 2008, in Museo Correr, is possible to visit an interesting exhibition dedicated entirely to celestial and terrestrial globes (from 16th to 20th Century). “Spheres of the Heavens, Spheres of the Earth” is an event organized by Marica Milanesi and Rudolf Schmidt, and allows to esteem deeply more than 140 works coming from the Museo Correr itself, the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana and several private collections. The exhibition is focused particularly on globes realized by Venetian friar Vincenzo Coronelli (1650-1718), one of the most renowned cartographers and globemakers of seventeenth century.
