The Carnival of Venice
The Carnival of Venice is an annual festival, held in Venice. The Carnival starts around two weeks before Ash Wednesday and ends on Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday.
Today, approximately 3 million visitors come to Venice every year for Carnival. One of the most important events is the contest for la maschera più bella (the most beautiful mask) placed at the last weekend of the Carnival and juried by a panel of international costume and fashion designers.
