Dive into a mysterious and poetic Venice, where cats, if they could speak, would reveal the city’s forgotten secrets. Guided by these mischievous felines, a young boy ventures through the labyrinth of Venetian alleys, at the heart of the Carnival animated by the Doge and colorful masks.

Throughout the night, he encounters emblematic characters: Casanova, the charming adventurer ready to escape with his beloved; a violin-playing monk; courtisanes, the queens of the city; the painter Giorgione immortalizing the beauty of Laura; and even Rabbi Leon de Modena, the alchemist of the ghetto.

Between silent gondolas, famous bridges, and mysterious houses, each encounter unveils a facet of Venice, blending history, legend, and poetry. When the dream ends, the cats slip away quietly, leaving the reader enchanted by the magic of the Serenissima.
