The Godfather in Venice

Monday November 3, 2003
Al Pacino, who will be working on "The Merchant of Venice" in Venice of all places, has requested for permission to attend the grand opening of the Fenice Theater on December 14. The mayor lost no time granting the request, according to our friends at VeniceWord. Ah, to be rich and famous...

While Europe travel may be in the doldrums over winter, just remember that winter is prime theater and opera time, and by the time February rolls around you have to think about carnevale, which, in Venice will be held from February 6th to the 24th, with most of the big events coming toward the end of that period.

Need Venice Info? Venice Pictures? Info on Airport Transportation?
