EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, as Count and Countess Robilant playfully host a "Baby Party" in their historic Venetian residence, the Mocenigo Palace. Dating back to 1926, this event was one of the most talked-about social gatherings of the Venetian season. The Mocenigo Palace, once home to the renowned poet Lord Byron, provided a fitting backdrop for this whimsical soiree. Guests embraced the theme wholeheartedly, donning elaborate children's costumes that brought an air of fantasy and excitement to the occasion. The Count, in particular, took on the role of a nurse, adding to the playful atmosphere. The Byron Room, adorned with period furnishings and the poet's original writing table, served as the perfect setting for this unique gathering. The photograph offers a glimpse into the opulence and creativity of the Venetian society during the 1920s. The elegantly dressed guests, their faces filled with joy and amusement, seem to have stepped out of a fairytale. This image not only showcases the charm of the era but also highlights the Count and Countess Robilant's ability to create unforgettable memories in their magnificent palace.
