Set in the heart of Renaissance Venice, the Veronica Franco treasure hunt is inspired by the fascinating and controversial figure of Veronica Franco (1546–1591): a cultured poet and celebrated courtesan with a reputation for honesty.

Born and raised in Venice, she embodied intelligence, independence and refinement, moving with ease and charisma through the salons of sixteenth-century Venetian aristocracy.

This extraordinary personality inspires an experience blending history, emotion and fun, transforming the past into an engaging, immersive team-building activity.

During the Renaissance, Venetian society made a clear distinction between different types of courtesan. Alongside common prostitutes, there were courtesans of honesty: educated, elegant women who were masters of conversation, poetry and music. Veronica Franco was the epitome of this role. Thanks to her intelligence and graceful manner, she attracted the attention and respect of nobles, intellectuals and other influential figures of the time.
