Carnevale di Venezia, the Carnevale to end all Carnival's, is touted as the largest Carnival's in Italy. Yahoo calls it "beauty, joy and sensuality before the introspective Lenten season."
Most importantly are the masks, giving the air a scent of mystery. While the significance of the mask is to impersonate Italian folklore characters, many love the surreal nature of disappearing into the mist.
"Carnevale is during Italy's winter. 'It's cooler outside, and because of all the canals, a mist hangs in the air. People in fantastical attire appear and fade into the fog. It's surreal,' says Guido D'Ugo, president of Ciao Italy Travel, " featured in the same Yahoo article.
That's really a great information about the Carnevale organized in Italy. Thanks.
