Venice is the quintessential stage for the world’s oldest International film festival

Take a late Citalia Venice break and join in the celebrations of the famous Venice Film Festival from August 29th to September 8th 2012.

Unlike many other of the world’s renowned film festivals, the world’s oldest international film festival in Venice gives a unique opportunity for the public to attend screenings.  Citalia, the leading Italian specialist, has a four night break from only £599 to absorb the atmosphere of this world famous event.

Starting on August 29th and ending on September 8th, this year’s event is directed by Alberto Barbera and takes place in the stunning Palazzo del Cinema on Lido Island, just a short boat trip from Venice.  As well as last minute ticket sales at the festival, those visiting are able to take in the local glitterati with large screens around the Palazzo del Cinema featuring footage and interviews from the festival.  A “Movie Village” hosting special events with stars, cafes and commercial stalls all take place around the event adding to the allure of a memorable trip to Venice.

A late four night break departing September 1st 2012 will take in two of the city’s most famous festivities and is on offer from just £599pp.  The price includes return flights from London Gatwick and four nights accommodation at the three star San Cassiano Ca’Favretto on a bed and breakfast basis, overlooking the Grand Canal.
