Venetian party planners outdid themselves with the 1574 reception for King Henry III of France. The
king's barge was greeted with glass-blowers performing on rafts, bevvies of Venetian beauties dressed in
white, a 1200-course meal, and decorations provided by an all-star committee of Palladio, Veronese and
Tintoretto.
