The Venice Carnival chooses its Maria. After 10 days of catwalks, dances, meetings, dinners, parties and shootings the 12 young metropolitan ladies are ready to experience the final act of the competition, the most eagerly awaited.

On Monday February 20 at 8pm, the Gran Galà in the Sale Apollinee of the La Fenice Theatre where, traditionally, the same jury that on friday February 3 chose the 12 Marias, will also vote to elect the Maria of the Year 2023. An evening presented by Linda Pani (Maria of the Year 2019) and by Principe Maurice the master of ceremonies who this year celebrates its 24th edition after the relaunched of the event by Bruno Tosi in 1999.

Giovanni Giusto, delegate for the Protection of Tradition and Ermelinda Damiano, president of the municipal Council will join the Gala.
The Maria elected in 2022 will also join the Gala, handing over the crown.
“The last 10 days were very intense – said Maria Grazia Bortolato, patron of the competition – This has always been a very hectic time although clearly wonderful, especially for the girls. They danced, cooked, ate, drew and visited beautiful historical places that represent the heart of Venice. Now, the final act. Clearly just one Maria will win but for me, they will remain Marias forever. I would like to thank everyone who has hosted us and everyone who made it possible to realize a perfect edition of this competition”.
