This limited edition class celebrates the Venice Carnival, one of the most famous carnivals in the world.
It is an occasion where both tourists and locals alike, celebrate in full masquerade attire in La Serenissima – a longstanding nickname for Venice meaning ‘most serene’. Historically, Venice was a prominent European centre-point for maritime trade, thus its 'serenity' is often attributed to the wealth, prosperity and most importantly, peace this trade brought with it.
The fanciful tradition of wearing masks began during the 13th century, although during that time the period of celebration lasted for months over the winter period, as opposed to days. The masqueraded balls and parties became primarily a chance for those from all social backgrounds to gather and indulge in an abundance of festivities together without the fear of reproach.
So, come and join us to celebrate this extravagant occasion as the Prosecco bubbles flow (without limit might we add!) and soak up the extraordinary Venetian atmosphere! Our Chefs will teach you how to make Venetian mask filled pasta inspired by the classic Casunzei all’ampezzana, a hearty, filled pasta, popular in Veneto that is traditionally stuffed with ricotta and beetroot.
Venetian masks will be provided for a truly Carnevale experience.
