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.

No lists to memorise, no pressure to see everything. Just a clear, human overview of what will shape Venice in 2026, told through events that matter and moments that define the year.

Whether you live in Venice, return to it often, or are planning your next visit, this episode is an invitation to listen closely and choose your own season.
