Have you ever been to Venice or read about the well-known city? What images come into your mind when you think of it? Just close your eyes and imagine yourself on a gondola, gently floating along a canal as the gondolier sings in Italian.There is only one word to describe it—romantic.It is precisely this romance that attracts so many tourists each year to this Italian city.Where else will you find a city without any traffic? Where else is it impossible to follow the direction straight ahead and where else does every short walk take you deep into history not just that of Italy but of Europe? Venice has all of this to offer and much more.
The Sestiere of Saint Marks is the oldest and most famous of the whole city of Venice, everything started from here.In the beginning it was called Rivoalto.It referred to the islands where the area was built.Its fulcrum is Saint Marks, a place that for more than thousand years has been the political and administrative centre of the Venetian Republic.
Venice comes alive every February during Carnival.This grand festival, which started during the 13th century, is celebrated with colorful costumes, music, and dancing.With a two-week series of parades, traditional ceremonies, and events, the Venice Carnival is one of the most fascinating celebrations in Europe.The Venice Carnival is particularly known for its masks.Their origin goes back to ancient springtime celebrations in which people would wear masks to disguise their identities.
Masks were such an important element of Carnival that making masks was considered a profession.There are three main types of mask.One is based on famous characters.Another is the fantasy mask, which can be based on anything the creator imagines.The third, and most common kind, is the traditional Venetian mask, which was inspired by the masks that doctors wore during the Plague of the 14th century.For hundreds of years, Venetians have enjoyed dressing up in the oddest of ways with their Carnival masks on.People enjoyed disguising themselves as bakers, clowns, hunters with fake guns, or even chained dancing bears.
It is a pity that the Carnival in Venice came to a halt in 1797.This was the year Napoleon conquered the Republic of Venice.Nearly two centuries later, in 1979, a group of foreigners who had fallen in love with Venice decided to restore the Carnival tradition.They were successful, and every year since then, the city has been a huge tourist attraction during the festival.
