The carnival season has finally arrived! At last, the possibility to dress up as Casanova and hit the Venetian calli or to dress up as a Marchesa and visit a Venetian ball.
But where to rent/buy a costume? Or would you prefer to create your own Venetian mask?
Atelier Nicolao
One of the most prestigious studios in Venice is Nicolao, founded in 1983 in the surroundings of Campo Santa Margherita and since 2006 (showroom, shop, tailoring and workshop) in Cannaregio at the Fondamenta della Misericordia. In case you want to get a first impression of their work, just go to the video rental store and get one of the following movies that Nicolao was creating the costumes for: Elizabeth, The Wings of the Dove, the Merchant of Venice or Casanova. Or you simply visit the E-Store on their website. 😉
