Carnevale Di Venezia

February is the month when one of the much-awaited Venetian events is held. The Venice Carnival revives the colourful masquerade balls and costume parties that took place in 18th century. Processions, masked balls, and other age-old Venetian traditions are held, and this celebration has been known to date back to the 13th century. Most of the city’s landmarks, such as St. Mark’s Square, the campi, the city’s various theatres, explode in colour and music, complete with theatrical performances, dances and acrobatic shows.
