A historic palace for a theatre enthusiast of his time: Casa di Carlo Goldoni
Carlo Osvaldo Goldoni (25 February 1707 – 6 February 1793) was an Italian playwright and librettist from the Republic of Venice. His works include some of the most famous and popular plays in Italy. Audiences appreciate Goldoni’s plays for their ingenious blend of wit and honesty. In his memoirs, Goldoni particularly remembers the palace where he was born and grew up. Today, this palace is a museum in his honour. It is also home to an institute for theatre studies.
