Carnivale in Venice @ your library!

On Thursday, April 19th at 7 pm, Gayle Baker of Gayle Baker’s Valley Travel will take you on an armchair vacation to the Carnivale in Venice. Highlighting her presentation at the with spectacular photos of costumed Venetians, canals and narrow streets, gondolas, vaporetti and trattorias, she will help you experience the fantasy of Carnivale where everyone is masked! You’ll see the medico della peste (plague doctor), Pulcinella and Pantalone backed by St. Mark’s Square, the Palace of the Doges, and the bridge of Sighs.The scenes will enchant you; so say to all your friends, “Andiamo!” (Let’s go!). If you do, you’ll soon know the answer to Shakespeare’s question in the Merchant of Venice, “What’s new on the Rialto?”

As Gayle’s trip went from Italy to Germany she will include a very special
carnival held in Cologne, Germany. The tone, the atmosphere, and the costumes are quite different but the air of “party time” is just as evident, delightful, and spontaneous.

Come; pretend you’re in a palazzo or a castle for an evening and enjoy this vicarious trip to Europe.
