CoM: CIAO! TODAY WE’RE INTERVIEWING CARNEVALE COSTUME DESIGNER, ANA MONICA MOTOC.

CoM: ANA MONICA HOW DID YOU FIRST LEARN ABOUT CARNEVALE IN VENICE, ITALY?

AM: From TV when I was little in the 90's.

CoM: WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT CARNEVALE?

AM: The atmosphere, people dressed in costumes on the streets, art everywhere you look, street shows, and Italian cuisine.

CoM: HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE CARNEVALE TO SOMEONE WHO HAS NEVER BEEN?

AM: It's like a big open air live theatre and you’re a part of the show.

CoM: TELL US ABOUT YOUR CARNEVALE COSTUME MAKING.

AM: I usually create Carnevale costumes for me and family members when they want to come with me. The first time was in 2013 when the kids were little. We planned a city break with costumes in Venice.
