Masks of Venice (watch in high quality)

Uploaded by romanpr1nce on Feb 4, 2009
The Carnival of Venice is an example modern Italian culture, as it was revived in the 1980s after having been outlawed by the fascist government under Mussolini. I suppose it is to Italy what cosplay is to Japan, except it has much much older origins.
The Carnival of Venice (in Italian: Carnevale Di Venezia) 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. They have always been around Venice. As masks were also allowed during Ascension and from October 5 to Christmas, people could spend a large proportion of the year in disguise [1]. Maskmakers (mascherari) enjoyed a special position in society, with their own laws and their own guild.
