As the founder of this project has Venetian origins, she decided to design this event also to raise awareness and funds to the city of Venice which was stricken by floods on November 13th.

 

Venice found itself submerged under some of the worst flooding in over 50 years, with the exceptional tide peaks, otherwise known as acqua alta, hitting nearly 1.9 meters. Local authorities estimate the damage at around 1 BLN euro.

 

"I have thus decided to donate part of the proceeds from ticket sales and sponsorships to the City of Venice, property of UNESCO World Heritage".
