Venice Carnival 2022 | Carnevale di Venezia 2022

Watch our video about Venice Carnival 2022!
The Venice Carnival (Carnevale di Venezia) is an annual festival in Venice, Italy.
This festival is known for its elaborate masks.
The Venice Carnival was most likely started by a victory by the Republic of Venice against the Patriarch of Aquileia in 1162. In honour of this victory, people started dancing and gathering in St. Mark's Square.
It is known that under the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Francis II, the Carnival of Venice was banned, and the wearing of masks by the population was banned in 1797.
After over 180 years, the Venice Carnival returned in 1979 and has been extremely famous ever since - attracting 3 million visitors annually.
Carnival masks have always been a speciality of the Venetian carnival. The mask makers enjoyed a special position in society, with their own laws and their own guild.

Our cameraman was there only for a few days in the middle of the carnival season, so I can't answer this question, sorry :(
