Venice Carnival
The Venice
Carnival is the most internationally known festival celebrated in Venice,
Italy, as well as being one of the oldest. This congregation of masked people,
called Venice Carnival, began in the 15th century, but the tradition can be
traced back to the beginning of the 14th Century.
Thousands
of tourists come to Venice
to see and take part in its magnificent
Carnival; walking round in fancy dress in this city's magical
scenery means taking part in a truly exceptional happening. Those mysterious,
disturbing Venetian
masks, eyeing you from the city's alleyways are part of what we
imagine the Venetian world would have been like 300 years ago. They are an irresistible
attraction for what is
undoubtedly one of the world's
most unique experiences: the
re-living of 18th century Venice. Wearing masks has always been
more than just simple
fun for the Venetians;
it is still a strongly felt tradition with deep cultural roots.
