Theme Parties in Venice

Suggested activities:

Morning:
Discover the film-makers’ Venice in an intriguing treasure hunt through famous and secret Venetian sites, where world-known movies were shot: 007 From Russia with love, 007 Moonraker, Indiana Jones, Woody Allen’s Everybody says I love you.
Then, take a water-taxi to go to the Lido island. The paparazzis run after you, trying to take pictures of you, like they do with the movie stars. Once at the Lido, have your lunch at the Excelsior’s terrace on the sea, the headquarter of the showbiz during the Venice Film Festival.

Cinema Amore Mio ! – it’s a team game. Each team is accommodated at a table. A musician with electronic keyboards plays famous movie soundtracks. Each table is provided with a small blackboard and a chalk, and guests are invited to guess as many soundtracks as they can. The captain of the table who will first guess 10 soundtracks must run to the jury table and deliver the blackboard.
The jury evaluates each table’s score and will assign the first 3 positions.

Afternoon:
Beach activities on the Hotel Des Bains beach, where Luchino Visconti shot the most famous scenes of The Death in Venice.

Again, you find the paparazzis when arriving at Pisani Palace: you cannot escape from them, although it is an exclusive party!  

Action ! – Entertainment at Gala Dinner - When waiters are going to serve desserts, and guests are relaxed, and chatting about the day, all of a sudden...... Action!  Everything shortly becomes a fascinating movie set: romantic, intriguing, funny, but most of all involving. Guests meet the Director, never satisfied, he always demands the maximum to everybody, the Technician, who is cameraman, sound engineer, light expert, the Actors, as always tired, exhausted, irritable, stressed by the Director. And, at last, the Assistant Director, the fac-totum, he runs, finds out, invents, creates, involves, stimulates, in one word: he makes anything for anybody. It is a surreal performance, in which guests will be invited to participate, becoming active part of the show, that will be developed in 4 scenes: action scene, romantic scene, funny scene, the ball.



When you choose such a peculiar destination as Venice, you envisage to stress the unforgettable hallmarks of this enchanting town.
A sumptuous gala evening in the 18th century style will make your guests merge in the splendid past of Venice.
