Description
Venice (Italy)

The carnival, with its attendant tradition of mask-wearing, has existed in some form or another since the 13th century. The masks themselves - along with the traditional bauto (hood and cape), tabarro (cloak) and tricorn hat - were favoured because they conferred complete anonymity on their wearers.

Every year the event is inspired by a new theme. Last year's edition, Venetian Carneval: Mask Parade and Events in Theatre, celebrated the city itself, from its theatres to its people, while this year's topic is yet to be announced.
