Carnival of Venice

Postby shaneyward » Wed Jun 08, 2011 9:05 am

Carneval di Venezia ( Carnival of Venice ) is a must visit at least once in your lifetime,and to get into the spirit of things, a mask is a must. Venice has seen some form of mask going back to the twelfth century but it was in 1608 that the mask was deemed proper for only the Carnival or official functions.
Today, the Carneval di Venezia takes place in February of each year.Halong bay tours
Mask making is done by masters of the craft and only a handful are considered the best. One of the artist's that has an amazing store and design shop across the small cobblestone walkway from each other is, Hamid, owner of Ca' del Sol. Toum Tiou Cruise Mekong cruise His designs are not only masks to wear but art work that can grace the walls of your home, office, or business. Every type of mask is made by Hamid and his staff and you will find Hamid in his store to help you decide which mask style, size, and shape is best for you. If you plan to be in Venice during the "Carnival" stop by and see the beautiful and the Da Lat Hotels grotesque masks that are available to purchase as well as costumes to wear. If you visit Venice anytime of the year, the mask makers shops are a must see to re-live the past customs of Venice and prepare for the future fun making days of Carnival. Ca' del Sol is located at Castello, 4964 (S. Zaccaria-Fond. Osmarin). Look for Hamid and his crafts person, Mercedes, and say hello from travel gourmet.

Heard a lot about Carnival of Venice. Of course Venice is one of the world’s most popular cities among tourists due to its tremendous beauty and if one’s visit gets combined with Venice Carnival experience then it is going to be a lifetime experience. The main specialty of this carnival is the people wearing beautiful masks and lavish costumes and also at the same time there are plenty of events taking place all around the city.
