In the time of the Doges, La Serenissima, Venice, was a world leader in ship building and international banking. Venice was famous for the notorious Casanova; the literary salons run by beautiful, dangerous courtesans; and the world-famous Carnival, where masked revelers played in streets and ballrooms all over the city.

One of the city's most famous and notorious cortigiana onesta - high courtesans - owns the palazzo that you've been invited to. Mysterious and elegant, her name is whispered down canals and squares in tones of awe and sometimes jealousy. Sometimes called a heretic, other times - a whore, she is a leader of fashion that even Venice's matriarchs emulate. She never fails to amuse the city's nobles with her literary salons and masked balls and invitations to both are highly prized.

Don a mask and costume for one such masquerade ball in the home of the lovely courtesan, for a Carnival celebration to remember!

Nestled in the courtsan's library is a very special book featuring the characters from J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter novels. This volume is written by many authors but most concentrate on the love story between Hermione Granger and Severus Snape. These stories are fan fiction, and each honors the written word of J.K. Rowling while exploring the flights of imagination that her characters and stories inspired. On the first page of our book, the curious title of the book is explained:

When I Kissed the Teacher ~ The Love Story of Severus and Hermione in Words and Pictures.


Atop the palazzo’s roof is a rare Garden. Here, among the blooms, guests lounge on settees or comfortable pillows and exchange their ideas and experiences of the realities of pain mixed with pleasure. Masters, Mistresses, Dominants, submissives, slaves and kajirae, freely offer their thoughts on the various arts and lifestyles, talking among themselves and with the curious guests who dare to ascend to the rooftop. The Garden is a safe place to exchange information and is open to all who are already practicing or who wish to learn BDSM and the related lifestyle philosophies with open honesty and candor. Beyond The Garden gate exists a growing collection of essays, definitions, and interactive amenities to assist the curious and the expert in self-discovery and learning.
