You’ll be welcomed to Mocenigo Palace, the museum of fabrics and costumes. You’ll relive the refined routine of the 18th-century Venetian nobility as immortalised by painters and playwrights. This sensuous experience recounts the rites of the dressing table and the art of combining dresses and precious accessories, then exploring the universe of perfumes, a booming industry in what was once the undisputed capital of la dolce vita.
To conclude the tour, you’ll look admiringly on as you enjoy a guided visit to the ancient Tessitura Bevilacqua (weaving factory) where, brocades, silks and velvet is still woven by hand on authentic 19th century looms to make precious wall hangings of palaces, theatres and museums all over the world.
