  • what does it mean when they touch their fingers to their lips? Is it some old traditional greeting? I've tried to research on it but am finding nothing. If anybody knows an old Italian who knows, please inform me. I am very curious...

  • It doesn't mean anything in particular - it's just a way of communicating with the camera in the absence of facial expressions.

  • Thank You so much for this pure understanding of something sad in all that feast. What's the song - tell me please, it's really important.

  • The song is called 'Nothing Else", it's by the Anglo/French band 'Archive'.

  • Thank you for this stunning video. My young son had just read a children's book about Carnival in Venice and we looked on the internet to find a video for him-- the first one we found was your beautiful, magical video! My son was totally captivated and moved and so was I. The song is so beautiful and the overall effect of your video conveys an emotion beyond just people in masks. Beautiful!

  • Thanks very much for your kind words, it's comments like this that make my efforts all the more worthwhile. I hope your son gets to visit Venice someday...

  • Do you know who are the people who wears this costumes? They live in Venice? How do they get their costumes? Are they doing by themself?

  • SOOO BEAUTIFUL! I had goosebumps! I wish I could see (and participate in) one in this lifetime...

  • Who are the people that dress up? Can anyone dress up or is it apart of a profession?

  • For this video the Guile theme from street fighter fits better than this song

  • so at what time of the year does this take plase

  • @thefunkychipmunk im italian..it s an elegant kiss

  • @thefunkychipmunk i think they're just blowing a kiss to the camera and the people who watches them! it's a way of greeting the crowd

  • some of the masked people in the video wore more than one mask why do they do that?

  • 2:55 reminds me of cotton candy xD

  • @thefunkychipmunk It's a greeting
