A long awaited reopening
On the occasion of the starting week of the Venice Carnival 2021: traditional, emotional, digital, the Civic Museums of the city and beyond reopen. Thanks to the most awaited event of the year that brought (even if with great control) joy to the "Calli" of Serenissima, to the Alpine Skiing World Championships hosted by Cortina d'Ampezzo which focused the spotlight on the beauties of the Veneto region, the reopening of the museums completes and closes the circle of a first recovery after a long period of abstinence from tourism, crowds and interest in art, culture and traditions. With limited and contingent entries, it will be possible to return to visit museums in total safety: the doors that have been closed for too long will finally be crossed, and the inanimate guests of each museum will be illuminated again by the lights that will highlight the works, radiated by full eyes of joy of those who have waited so long for this moment.
