Happy Carnivale

Carnivale in Venice

1990 Trastevere,  Rome

        Carnivale or Fat Tuesday is a big deal in Italy! I found some old photos of a Carnivale we went to in Rome, at the Piazza di Santa Maria di Trastevere. The kids dress up (kinda like Halloween, but not scary) and go into the piazza where they eat sweets, throw confetti, watch puppet shows, jugglers, musicians, etc. It's fun! It goes on in the big cities down to the smallest of villages. Even the grown ups have their celebration in the evening. Venice holds a big one and they really go all out with costumes and masks.
HAPPY CARNIVALE A TUTTI!
