Carnival of Venice

3. That the Carnival
of Venice was
started from a
victory of the
"Repubblica della
Serenissima",
Venice's previous
name, against the
Patriarch of
Aquileia, Ulrico in
the year 1162.

4. • The honor of this
victory, the people
started to dance and
make reunions in San
Marco Square. The
festival declined
during the 18th
century. The Carnival
returned to operate
in 1979.
• The Italian
government decided
to bring back the
history and culture of
Venice, and sought to
use the traditional
Carnival

7. • Venetian masks
can be made in
leather, porcelain
or with the original
glass technique.
The original masks
were rather simple
in design,
decoration, and
often had a
symbolic and
practical function.
