S4 Ep.1 - What Is On in Venice in 2026: The Events You Should Know with RomInVenice
Venice never stands still. It simply changes rhythm.
In this episode of Venice Talks, Monica Cesarato sits down with Romena Brugnerotto to walk through Venice’s 2026 cultural calendar, one month at a time. From the first signs of Carnival to the quiet glow of Christmas, this conversation follows the city as it moves through exhibitions, festivals, celebrations, and shared rituals.
