Carnevale di Venezia(Karneval in Venedig)

The Carnival of Venice takes place in the weeks before Ash Wednesday, typically running for about two weeks and ending on Shrove Tuesday (Mardi Gras). The exact dates change each year based on when Easter falls.

The Carnival of Venice is one of the world's most famous and oldest carnivals, dating back to the 12th century in the Republic of Venice. It is renowned for its elaborate historical masks and costumes, masquerade balls, and spectacular events held in the canals and squares of Venice, Italy.

The Carnival of Venice is a uniquely Venetian festival held in Venice, Italy. It attracts visitors from around the world, particularly from Europe, Japan, the Americas, and Australia. Venice itself transforms into a global gathering of costumed revelers during this period.

The Carnival of Venice is not a public holiday in Italy. However, since it culminates on Mardi Gras (Martedì Grasso), schools in Venice and the Veneto region often have a local holiday during the Carnival period. Businesses in Venice adjust their hours to accommodate the massive influx of tourists.

Carnival of Venice traditions include wearing elaborate historical Venetian masks and costumes (most famously the bauta, moretta, and volto masks), attending masquerade balls in historic palaces, participating in the Gran Volo dell'Angelo (Flight of the Angel) over St. Mark's Square, gondola parades, street performances, and dining on traditional Venetian carnival foods.
