The Venice Carnival is a magnificent festival of costumes and masks that is world famous. It is a cultural extravaganza of historic significance. People come from all over the world to see the elaborate 18th century-style costumes and masks which are the major attractions of the carnival.
The festival takes place annually in Venice and it is said to attract around three million visitors a year, making it the largest event in Venice. It marks the beginning of Lent.
The 2020 edition of Carnevale di Venezia took place between the 8th February to 25th February 2020, and the theme was ‘ll Gioco, l’Amore e la Follia’ meaning Game, Love and Folly. The parade started from San Pietro in Castello and followed Via Garibaldi and Riva degli Schiavoni and finished in San Marco.
Hi Mollywozhere. I ‘woz’ there too. I wore the same mask as you. You are right: the Venice Carnival has no equal in the world, no match to any other Carnival held anywhere else, for beauty, fun, elegance, class, history and much much more. Great.
