VENICE CARNIVAL EVENTS 2022
Amazing and thrilling performances occurred during this 17-day event. To begin with, the official kick-off features the Marie Festival*. The festivities started with a water procession of chosen girls. The procession departs from San Giacomo dall’ Orio and arrives in Piazza San Marco where they made their public debut in traditional costumes. At that point, the Doge crowns one lucky girl to be Maria of the year – the most beautiful maiden of the Venice Carnival.
Festivities continue with the traditional Flight of the Angel. The Flight of the Angel is one of the most awaited events in Venice. It is held from 12 noon to 1:00pm in Saint Mark’s Square.

Pietro di Castello, to receive the Wedding Sacrament.
