Carnival everywhere—that’s the formula for the upcoming edition of the Venice Mardi Gras: no square foot in town will be overlooked, with events in the outer islands and the mainland, too. The party will welcome everybody under the aegis of creativity and originality. Take Your Time for the Original Signs is the slogan chosen by art director Massimo Checchetto, who took inspiration from the zodiac and the base elements of earth, water, wind, and fire to find the essence of fantasy and creativity that lies within each of us.
