Chris & Tom at Carnivale...Venezia
The thought of milling about with people in masks does not appeal to Steve- at all. But our friends, Chris and Tom are in Venice right now and are delighting in the uniqueness of it all.
Carnival started as a time for celebration and expression throughout the classes, as wearing masks hid any form of identity between social classes. During the 1970s, the Italian government decided to bring back the history and culture of Venice, and sought to use the traditional Carnival as the centerpiece of their efforts. Today, approximately 30,000 visitors come to Venice each day for Carnivals.
