<\/a><\/p>\nThe Carnival of Venice (Italian: Carnevale di Venezia) is an annual festival, held in Venice, Italy.<\/p>\n
The Carnival ends with the Christian celebration of Lent, forty days before Easter on Shrove Tuesday (Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras), the day before Ash Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The festival is famed for its elaborate masks.<\/p>\n
It is said that the Carnival of Venice was started from a victory of the \u00abSerenissima Repubblica\u00bb against the Patriarch of Aquileia, Ulrico di Treven in the year 1162. In the honor of this victory, the people started to dance and make reunions in San Marco Square. Apparently, this festival started on that period and became official in the Renaissance.<\/p>\n
In the seventeenth century, the baroque carnival was a way to save the prestigious image of Venice in the world.<\/p>\n
It was very famous during the eighteenth century.<\/p>\n
It encouraged licence and pleasure, but it was also used to protect Venetians against the anguish for present time and future.<\/p>\n
However, under the rule of the King of Austria, the festival was outlawed entirely in 1797 and the use of masks became strictly forbidden. It reappeared gradually in the nineteenth century, but only for short periods and above all for private feasts, where it became an occasion for artistic creations.<\/p>\n
After a long absence, the Carnival returned to operate in 1979.<\/p>\n
The Italian government decided to bring back the history and culture of Venice, and sought to use the traditional Carnival as the centerpiece of its efforts. The redevelopment of the masks began as the pursuit of some Venetian college students for the tourist trade. Today, approximately 3 million visitors come to Venice every year for Carnival. One of the most important events is the contest for la maschera pi\u00f9 bella (\u00abthe most beautiful mask\u00bb) placed at the last weekend of the Carnival and juried by a panel of international costume and fashion designers.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u00bb1\/2″][vc_single_image image=\u00bb1030″ img_link_target=\u00bb_self\u00bb title=\u00bbMore information\u00bb img_size=\u00bblarge\u00bb img_link_large=\u00bbyes\u00bb][vc_single_image image=\u00bb1038″ img_link_target=\u00bb_self\u00bb title=\u00bbCarnival Mask\u00bb img_size=\u00bblarge\u00bb img_link_large=\u00bbyes\u00bb][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u00bb1\/2″][vc_single_image image=\u00bb1031″ img_link_target=\u00bb_self\u00bb title=\u00bbUpdates\u00bb img_size=\u00bblarge\u00bb img_link_large=\u00bbyes\u00bb][vc_single_image image=\u00bb1037″ img_link_target=\u00bb_self\u00bb title=\u00bbMore mask\u00bb img_size=\u00bblarge\u00bb img_link_large=\u00bbyes\u00bb][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u00bb1\/2″][vc_single_image image=\u00bb1082″ img_link_target=\u00bb_self\u00bb title=\u00bbSmall Venice\u00bb img_size=\u00bblarge\u00bb img_link_large=\u00bbyes\u00bb][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u00bb1\/2″][vc_single_image image=\u00bb1073″ img_link_target=\u00bb_blank\u00bb title=\u00bbNeed a web designer?\u00bb img_size=\u00bblarge\u00bb img_link=\u00bbhttp:\/\/computacionvalencia.com\u00bb][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=\u00bb1\/1″][vc_single_image image=\u00bb1018″ img_link_target=\u00bb_self\u00bb title=\u00bbBuy your Megapolis zoo ticket\u00bb img_size=\u00bbfull\u00bb img_link_large=\u00bbyes\u00bb][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=\u00bb1\/2″][vc_wp_posts show_date=\u00bb1″ title=\u00bbBreaking News\u00bb number=\u00bb6″][vc_single_image image=\u00bb829″ img_link_target=\u00bb_self\u00bb title=\u00bbSummer is coming, Don’t miss it!\u00bb img_size=\u00bblarge\u00bb img_link_large=\u00bbyes\u00bb][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\u00bb1\/2″][vc_posts_slider type=\u00bbflexslider_fade\u00bb interval=\u00bb5″ slides_content=\u00bbteaser\u00bb slides_title=\u00bb1″ link=\u00bblink_post\u00bb orderby=\u00bbdate\u00bb order=\u00bbDESC\u00bb title=\u00bbInteresting News\u00bb posttypes=\u00bbpost\u00bb][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
