The 18th century was the last great season of flowering of all art in Venice and, perhaps, the most iconic.

With a single ticket it is possible to “retrace” it. Firs of all, the must-see Ca’ Rezzonico is one of the most beautiful palaces on the Grand Canal, a treasure trove of artistic masterpieces of that period. Then, in the aristocratic residence of Mocenigo family, located in San Stae, are preserved collection of textiles, original costumes and an interesting section dedicated to the art of perfumery. Last but not least, the native home of Carlo Goldoni, leading character of the 18th century revolution of play at international level, it houses an important centre of theatrical study.

The cost of the cumulative ticket is 16 €, reduced 13€ (Family ticket, children from 6 to 14 years old, students from 15 to 25 years old, Rolling Venice Card holders). Purchase it here.
