The countdown has already started. With the inspiring title "Ad Oriente. The Extraordinary Journey of Marco Polo", the 2024 Venice Carnival celebrates one of its greatest travellers. On the 700th anniversary of his death on January 8th, 1324, Marco Polo returns to the lagoon as the main protagonist of the traditional festivities in Venice. The theme of travel is about discovery and coming face to face with worlds that were only imagined so far, but also an intimate travel in ourselves. This will be the focus of the 2024 edition of the Venice Carnival.
