Venice, with its timeless charm, transforms every year during the Carnival. This iconic event attracts visitors from all over the world, eager to immerse themselves in an atmosphere of magic and mystery.
The Origins of the Carnival
The Venice Carnival has ancient roots, dating back to the 12th century. It began as a popular festival, a moment when social differences disappeared thanks to the use of masks. Every year, the city celebrates this tradition with elegance and creativity.
Unmissable Events
One of the most anticipated events is the “Flight of the Angel,” which officially opens the Carnival. A masked figure descends from the bell tower of St. Mark’s, offering a spectacular moment. Equally fascinating are the costume parades, the balls in historic palaces, and the masked regattas along the Grand Canal. Every corner of Venice offers surprises and photo-worthy moment.
Masks and Costumes
Masks are the symbol of the Carnival. Among the most famous are the Bauta, the Moretta, and the Volto, worn with elaborate costumes that evoke the charm of the past. Strolling through Venice’s alleys becomes a journey through time, where every detail tells a story.
The Carnival is a unique opportunity to discover Venice in a different light. The city fills with colors, music, and celebration, offering an unforgettable experience. Moreover, it’s the perfect time to savor traditional treats like fritole and galani.
