Hello there! This is Antonella, a Venetian born and raised travel and culture addicted tour guide and tour leader. When in Venice I don't offer only the factual information clients expect but also a cultural context that creates a more rewarding experience. I sense the kind of guest in front of me and adapt in no time delivering a tailor-made tour. When I don't lead/guide I act as an active member of a theatre company. My passion for theatre is very useful for my profession as I never "lecture" my guests: I actually engage them. When I don't act I write, obviously about travel! I live in Venice since I landed here for university studies. Later, I never wanted to leave the city, which I love deep down, if not to travel the world, of which I feel a citizen. I love my job because it allows me to combine passion for foreign languages and for this incredible city, with history, art, architecture, food (get ready for some gourmet tours!) and for theatre which, as a matter of fact, in Venice is a long-time tradition. -Government certified tour guide license issued by the Province of Modena (Italy) -Government certified tour leader license issued by the Province of Venice (Italy) -Port of Venice permit of access issued by the Venitian Port Authority (Italy) -Wine tasting Advisor issued by Onav and EBT (Italy) -Master in journalism at the Scuola di Giornalismo A.Chiodi (Venice, Italy) -Master in non profit economics; major in history of microcredit at the University of Ferrara (CARID) -Degree in economics of tourism; major in marketing re-launch of a Tout Operator at Ca' Foscari University of Venice No restrictions at all. I am a fully licenced tour leader and tour guide
Have a question or want to customize this tour? Message Antonella Z.
Learn about one of the world's most ancient Carnival, challenge yourself as an artist (and believe me even the least of the "artsy" person will come out with 2 great masks!!) and taste typical sweet or savoury food. Any idea about the reason for the mask wearing? Well, I don't want to spoil the surprise so just remember that once upon a time there were only 2 masks: one for man and one for women. Nowadays, mask making is an elaborated work of art. If you book the tour during Carnival time you will even have the chance to try the delicious "frittelle" or "galani".
-The itinerary will wind through streets, bridges and small squares from your hotel to the atelier for making papier-mâché masks typical of the Venetian carnival. -We will pass through San Polo (the precursor of the amusement park) and the majestic Gothic palace of the University of Venice - Ca 'Foscari - before arriving at the mysterious laboratory of wonders where for 2 hours you will be followed by an artist who will guide you through the decoration of 2 masks of your choice that you'll then take back with you! -The tasting will take place at a historic pastry shop or in a typical bacaro depending on the sweet or savory palate of the guests!
