Salma Hayek Enjoys Pre-Wedding Festivities With Friends And Family
How much fun!! Salma Hayek and Francois Henri Pinault threw a masquerade themed pre-wedding dinner the night before they renewed their vows in Italy. Their daughter Valentia Paloma Pinault looked like she really was enjoying the masks!
Their location of choice? Punta Della Dogana, one of Venice’s most historic buildings.
The Carnival in Venice-style masked ball was held inside a white tent in the courtyard with many guests, including Charlize Theron and boyfriend Stuart Townsend, wearing black Venetian masks. Also in attendance were former French president Jacques Chirac and wife Bernadette. Others expected at the celebration are Penélope Cruz, Ashley Judd, Luis Miguel and Lucy Liu.
The site of the rehearsal dinner has been used by Venetian merchants since the 15th century. After the buildings fell into disrepair, the city awarded the lease to Pinault's father, who has since spent $70 million on renovations. The structure will open to the public as the Pinault Foundation Centre for Contemporary Art on June 6.
Sounds magical! Venice as a whole is an amazing city by itself - what a night it must have been.

Venice is an amezing city.... but only if you are a turist...
I live in Venice and despite the fact the I love the city it's a nightmare when I have to go to university... you can't walk because of all the tourist and you have to move earlier ever time... not to mention when there are holidays and school trip!!
Looks like fun!
Venice is a beautiful, fantastic city! The "alta aqua"/high water flooding scares me, though.
