Il Ballo del Doge is an Artistic Event, a Grand Ball, a Gala Dinner and a Gorgeous Show. A 'must' among the most exclusive social appointments in the world, that happens in Venice at Carnival time.
Choose between the entrance ticket to the party and the entrance ticket with dinner included, to live the entire experience.
Don't forget to wear your best period costume, which is mandatory to join the party. The Atelier Antonia Sautter treasures more than 1500 haute couture costumes with collections which range from Medieval times up to the Twenties in the XX Century, completely ‘revisited’ by Antonia Sautter’s creativity and fantasy. These spectacular costumes, that each year are created by the designer herself, are unique pieces, realized and completely decorated by hand with rich trimmings, Swarovski crystals, ribbons and precious fabrics.
The party will take place at Scuola Grande della Misericordia: the “Misericordia”, as it is called by the Venetians, is a place that evokes ancient and future ideals. The majestic construction of the Scuola Grande della Misericordia was entrusted in 1531 to the great Renaissance architect Jacopo Sansovino and lasted twelve years. It houses the largest hall in Venice, after the Doge’s Palace, frescoed by the school of Paolo Veronese.
