Italian: a large Carnival masked ball, usually held at night in a theatre. Marie hears of a «grand Veglione à l'Apollo» in Rome (8 February 1877) and goes, masked, to the charity veglione at the San Carlo in Naples on the night of 10 February 1877, where she flirts with Larderel (carnet 068). «Nos cavaliers du Veglione» recur through carnets 069–071.
