Carnevale di Venezia
Annual festival famous for extravagant balls, street parades and masks
About Carnevale di Venezia
Italy
Carnevale di Venezia is one of the most famous and spectacular festivals in the world, known for its elaborate masks, grand balls, parades and street performances. Held annually in the weeks leading up to Lent, this centuries-old tradition transforms Venice into a magical city of mystery and elegance. During the Republic of Venice, Carnival was a time when people could hide their identities behind masks, breaking social barriers between the nobility and commoners. Napoleon banned the festival in 1797, and it was only revived in 1979 to bring back the city’s historic traditions. Today, it is one of the most extravagant and photographed events in the world.
