Carnevale, Venice

Carnevale is an Italian celebration that harkens back to Europe's agnostic era. This carnevale is a massive event celebrated all throughout Italy, with the most spectacular taking place in Venice (Carnevale di Venezia).

A common expression for this festival is 'A Carnevale Ogni Scherzo Vale,' which means 'Anything goes at fair.' As a result, depending on where you are, the celebration is marked by a wide range of events.

During the Carnevale, Italy is adorned with great extravagance and magnificence to honor the beginning of Lent (a season in which Christians refrain from celebration and do not consume meat) and Easter. This festival's origins are most likely traceable to the 12th century and the Pagan Festival. Parties, parades, and masquerade balls are held in many Italian towns to keep the residents entertained. While attending the balls may become expensive for visitors, you may enjoy numerous street acts, concerts, and boat parades for free.
