Come tradurreste questa frase?

Tantôt secret, tantôt dévoilant ses charmes à chaque geste
 posé dans ces lieux chargés d’histoire tout cela nous rappelle que Venise demeure pour l’éternité un haut lieu de la mascarade.

Grazie

mascherata, carnevale
Explanation:
A volte segreto, a volte rivelando il suo fascino in ogni gesto posto in questi luoghi pieni di storia tutto questo ci ricorda che Venezia rimane per sempre una mecca per la mascherata.

Da controllare "posto" che fa riferimento a qualcosa di precedente a questa frase.

artificio/ messinscena


Explanation:
In questo caso la parole francese a il doppio significato di mascherata e comportamento artificioso ............. essendo Venezia immediatamente riconducibile al carnevale, forse conviene mettere qui in evidenza l'altro lato del termine :
http://www.cnrtl.fr/definition/mascarade
B. −Au fig., péj.
1. Comportement hypocrite. Synon. grimace. Tous, nous nous contraignons [à des obsèques ] à une bienséante parade, à une mascarade pieuse (Arnoux, Crimes innoc., 1952, p.47).
2. Situation dérisoire, mise en scène fallacieuse. Synon. farce. Seul il marchait tout nu dans cette mascarade Qu'on appelle la vie (Musset, Rolla, 1833, p.7). Jamais conjonctures plus propices à toutes les mascarades sociales. Dix régimes en cinquante ans (Valéry, Variété II, 1929, p.109):
2. L'humanité d'Anatole France n'est, au reste, qu'une absurde mascarade, asservie par l'instinct (...). Les hommes qu'il nous peint ne sont guère que des fantoches grimaçants et paillards: en dehors des ivresses rapides de leur égoïsme sensuel, nul sentiment, nulle intelligence ne les éclaire.
Massis, Jugements, 1923, p.163.


......... Venezia rimane il luogo per eccellenza dell'artificio/ della messinscena
