Carnival of Venice - Masks

The carnival of Venice (or Carnevale di Venezia in Italian) was first recorded in 1268.
Masks have always been a central feature of the Venetian carnival; traditionally people were allowed to wear them between the festival of Santo Stefano (St. Stephen's Day, December 26) at the start of the carnival season and midnight of Shrove Tuesday.

El carnaval de Venecia surge a partir de la tradición del siglo XVII, en donde la nobleza se disfrazaba para salir a mezclarse con el pueblo. Desde entonces las máscaras son el elemento más importante del carnaval.

El carnaval de Venecia tiene una duración de 10 días. Durante las noches, se realizan bailes en salones y las comparsas conocidas como compagnie della calza realizan desfiles por la ciudad.
Music:O Fortuna -Carmina Burana( Carl Orff )

is it just me or are these masks scarier than the masks of any other culture? I would rather sleep in a bedroom with Rangda staring at me than one of these female jester freaks

There are a lot of mask shop in venice but you need a lot of money.

Sometimes during the carnivale Venice looks like a city from a fantasy parallel universe.

Canada is a land of human, civil rights crimes - illegal police activity, raping innocent women by police, torture of those who question police abuse of power. They not only set up cameras to look inside women's bedroom windows through their curtains and clothes night after night, but hold town hall bitch session meetings, openly inciting violence against citizen who they have no evidence against, brainwashing other citizens to harass that person. This is how illegal Canadian police actions are.
