The Carnival of Venice or Carnival di Venezia is an annual competition in Venice. The Carnival ends with the Christian celebration of Lent, 40 days earlier than Easter on Shrove Tuesday (Mardi Grass, Pancake Tuesday).
The competition is well-known for its elaborate masks and costumes. It’s stated that the Carnival of Venice began from a victory of the Serenissima Repubblica towards the Patriarch of Aquileia in 1162. In honor of the victory, folks began to bop and met up in San Marco Sq.. It turned official within the Renaissance. Below the rule of the King of Austria the competition was outlawed in 1797 and using masks turned forbidden. The Carnival returned in 1979 because the Italian authorities determined to carry again the historical past and tradition of Venice.
Masks have all the time been an necessary characteristic of the Venetian Carnival. Historically folks have been allowed to put on them between the competition of Santo Stefano (St Stephens Day on twenty sixth December) and the beginning of the Carnival season at midnight of Shrove Tuesday.
