Marco Polo returns to the Lagoon as a protagonist of the Carnival tradition in Venice. With the evocative title "Towards the Orient... the amazing journey of Marco Polo", the 2024 edition of the Carnival of Venice celebrates one of its greatest travellers, whose adventure embodies the essence of the city of Venice: the curiosity, the thirst for knowledge and the resourcefulness of Venetian merchants are at the heart of a lifestyle that has marked the entire history of the Republic of Venice, in a mix of trade, business, diplomacy and scientific and geographical knowledge.
