Venice Carnival Kicks Off With Mesmerizing Water
On February 11, thousands of people, many
dressed in costumes and masks, gathered at the Rio
de Cannaregio in Venice to watch the spectacular
water show that marked the opening of the
Carnevale di Venezia, or Carnival of Venice. The
brainchild of the creative minds at Corona Events
artist company, it featured colourful floating
structures and acrobatic performers, many of whom
were dressed as sea creatures.
The two-week festival began as a street dance
in 1162 to celebrate the victory of the Republic of
Venice against Ulrich von Treven, the patriarch of
Aquileia in Northern Italy. The event was observed
in various forms until 1797, before being banned by
the King of Austria who controlled Venice from 1815
and 1866. Though revived for short periods of time
in the nineteenth century, it was not until 1979 that
the Italian government made the carnival an official
celebration in honor of Venice. In addition to the
water show, the carnival includes parades, mask performances,
and fireworks, with visitors each year wondering
what the festival attracts other than the
spectacular events themselves.
