Comments on: this week’s newsletter http://blog.buongiornovenezia.com/2008/02/06/this-weeks-newsletter-11/ Dialogue with the readers of the newsletter Buongiorno Venezia Wed, 08 Feb 2012 01:24:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1.2 By: Marisa D'Alessandro http://blog.buongiornovenezia.com/2008/02/06/this-weeks-newsletter-11/#comment-2480 Marisa D'Alessandro Sat, 09 Feb 2008 22:05:13 +0000 http://blog.buongiornovenezia.com/2008/02/06/this-weeks-newsletter-11/#comment-2480 I agree completely that this year's carnival events were very badly organised. I have been e-mailing since before Christmas requesting information & details with regard to programme of events for the entire carnival period & even up to the day I arrived no information was available. Each year it becomes harder for me to organise my time in Venice (as I am there to work as a photographer) & I am amazed that no official program is in effect prior to Christmas so I can recommend clients & friends to attend in advance. It is very poor & even when the website was on line a few days prior to this year's festivities it was hard to navigate with small scroll bar & miniscule type face that it was impossible to use easily. Are they deliberately trying to make it difficult to gain information ? I know the Venice carnival is a very little known about here in UK & the official body that is there to promote & publicise the carnival has done a lousy job this year. It would be good to have the events lined up well in advance with a clear, informative website that many people can refer to . Very many events are repeated each year so to fine tune program would not be so difficult. Please note these comments.
