Venice Carnival



In my country there are a lot feasts linked to popular traditions.
For example in the North of Italy there is German influence in our festivals.

In particular, in my region there is the Carnival of Venice in this period.

The Venice Carnival is known for its fascination and mystery which has been around for 900 years.

In the original carnival people can feel the atmosphere of the Carnival and how it was during the Calm Republic.

Usually the Carnival lasts for about two weeks before Lent.

This is a popular festival for Venetians and foreigners. During this festival foreign musicians meet each other and there is a mix of foreign people and different kinds of culture.
