The Carnival of Venice

Is an annual festival, held in Venice, Italy. The Carnival starts 58 days before Easter.
It is said that the Carnival of Venice was originated from a victory of the  "Repubblica della Serenissima", Venice's previous name, against the Patriarch of Aquileia, Ulrico in the year 1162. In the honor of this victory, the people started to dance and make reunions in San Marco Square.

Masks have always been a central feature of the Venetia carnival; traditionally people were allowed to wear them between the festival of Santo Stefano Venezia-maschera carnevale.jpg(St. Stephen's Day, December 26) and the start of the carnival season and midnight of Shrove Tuesday. They have always been around Venice.
