The venetian carnival nowadaysÂ
The Carnival in Venice has accompanied every moment of history: in the nineteenth century Venice and its Carnival become a destination for artists and celebrities from around the world. After the fall of the Venice Republic Carnival underwent a sharp break due to the French and Austrian domination. In this sad period the Carnival continued only in the island of Burano and Murano, home to Venetian artists.
Carnival resurrected in 1979 when a group of citizens from civic associations helped to create the new edition of the Venice Carnival, a festival lasting eleven days, full of joy and happiness to celebrate this anniversary, so dear to the Venetian people.
During Carnival, the innate nature of the Venetian merchants is overshadowed, fun, jokes, masks and party atmosphere of lightheartedness and invades the city in a festive general atmosphere that you can feel, see and touch throughout the city.
