Experience Venice through its events

Venice is a city in constant transformation, capable of renewing itself without ever losing its connection with its cultural heritage. Between streets and canals, each season is marked by unique events that celebrate art, sustainability, artisanal excellence and Italian living. In this context, the Hotel Nani Mocenigo Palace stands out as the ideal refuge for those who want to experience the authentic rhythm and timeless charm of the city.

During the spring and summer, the Venetian calendar has lit up with various events such as the Salone Nautico, which has transformed the Arsenale into a floating stage of innovation and design, attracting yachting and lifestyle enthusiasts from all over the world. The event offers a complete overview of the latest innovations in the sector, with a particular focus on sustainability and the excellence of Italian and international shipbuilding. Promoted by the Municipality of Venice and organized by Vela Spa, in collaboration with the Italian Navy, the Salone Nautico di Venezia has established itself as a point of reference for exhibitors, shipyards, designers, shipowners and enthusiasts from all over the world. A few steps away, in the heart of the Dorsoduro district, the Hotel Nani Mocenigo welcomes guests and visitors seeking tranquility in a place that also pays homage to the city’s maritime culture, thanks to its privileged views of the Squero di San Trovaso, one of the last traditional shipyards still active.

Among the most important events for the future of the city is the Venice Sustainability Innovation Summit, an international platform that hosts experts, entrepreneurs and institutions to reflect on the sustainable models of tomorrow. In July, Venice also becomes the stage for the Festival della Bellezza. After the successful editions in Verona and Florence, the festival arrives in the lagoon with talks, live music, performances and reflections on art, philosophy and contemporary thought. The Peggy Guggenheim Collection, a few minutes’ walk from the hotel, will host a meeting on July 2 at 8:00 pm with Vincenzo Trione, an Italian essayist, historian and art critic. In this context, the Hotel Nani Mocenigo Palace will welcome art lovers and festival participants, extending the experience of this dialogue among the frescoed rooms of the palace.

With the arrival of late summer, the pace of the city becomes slower and more engaging, culminating with the Festa del Redentore, one of the most heartfelt events for Venetians, between religious tradition and popular festival. The fireworks that light up the lagoon offer a unique experience for those who choose the Nani Mocenigo as a privileged observation point.

Last but not least, the Venice Fashion Week – the conscious fashion week – celebrates craftsmanship, sustainable fashion and local creativity, transforming Venice into an atelier spread across palaces and streets. The event was created by us 12 years ago to give voice and face to the talents of Made in Italy and to the companies of the Veneto, focusing attention on the themes of sustainability and high craftsmanship” say the organizers Laura Scarpa and Lorenzo Cinotti, The next dates of the event with the Venice Recraft Fashion Week will be in Venice from 20 to 26 October 2025. For that occasion the Hotel will host a special event where fashion and high craftsmanship will merge together.
