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.

Venice Carnival is the opportunity to live in contact with an unique city in a faboulous scenary.
