Venetian by birth and by daily choice, Antonia Sautter is a world-renowned entrepreneur-artist who channels her imaginative energy and soul into all her creations: her fashion line entirely handmade in Venice, her refined and sumptuous costumes, her extraordinary events. In 1994 she invented Il Ballo del Doge, which has been illuminating the Venice Carnival for 30 years and is counted among the 10 things to do at least once in a lifetime.
