With a two-week series of processions, masquerades, traditional ceremonies, music and all-round festivities among the canals, from 13 to 24 February will be celebrated the most important carnival of Italy in Venice.
The carnival, with its attendant mask tradition, has existed in some form or another since the 13th century.
The masks themselves, the traditional bauto (hood and cape), tabarro (cloak) and tricorn hat, were conferred complete anonymity on their wearers.
Every year the event is inspired by a new theme, which in 2009 is “Sensation“. This theme invites visitors to discover and taste the city and its six districts.
The whole city is filled with revellers from all over the world so musical, theatrical, acrobatic and dance performances will be show all days in the picturesque streets.
Venice Carnival is the opportunity to live in contact with an unique city in a faboulous scenary.
