Book excerpt: The Carnival of Venice (Italian: Carnevale di Venezia) is an annual festival held in Venice, Italy. The Carnival ends with the Christian celebration of Lent, forty days before Easter, on Shrove Tuesday (Martedì Grasso or Mardi Gras), the day before Ash Wednesday. The festival is world-famous for its elaborate masks.It's said that the Carnival of Venice was started from a victory of the Venice Republic against the Patriarch of Aquileia, Ulrico di Treven in the year 1162. In the honour of this victory, the people started to dance and gather in San Marco Square. Apparently, this festival started on that period and became official in the Renaissance. It reappeared gradually in the nineteenth century, but only for short periods and above all for private feasts, where it became an occasion for artistic creations.After a long absence, the Carnival returned in 1979.[6] The Italian government decided to bring back the history and culture of Venice, and sought to use the traditional Carnival as the centerpiece of its efforts. The redevelopment of the masks began as the pursuit of some Venetian college students for the tourist trade. Since then, approximately 3 million visitors come to Venice every year for the Carnival.[7] One of the most important events is the contest for la maschera più bella ("the most beautiful mask") which will be judged by a panel of international costume and fashion designers. Several distinct styles of mask are worn in the Venice Carnival, some with identifying names. People with different occupations wore different masks.

Download or read book Venice written by Pericles Boutos and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The images in this book, taken at the Venice Carnival in 1996, 97, and 98 by the Greek photographer Pericles Boutos, illuminate and unmask this age-old Venetian tradition. Following in the footsteps of the great French-American tradition of photographers like Cartier-Bresson and Garry Winogrand, Boutos brings to the fore a Carnival which has lost, along with color, its very identity. That his images capture the contemporary reality of this much photographed spectacle without any cliche or shopworn excess is a testament to the photographer, who portrays with deceptive ease the behind-the-scenes rituals of the carnival's baroque proceedings.

Book Synopsis Venice Incognito by : James H. Johnson
Download or read book Venice Incognito written by James H. Johnson and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The entire town is disguised," declared a French tourist of eighteenth-century Venice. And, indeed, maskers of all ranks—nobles, clergy, imposters, seducers, con men—could be found mixing at every level of Venetian society. Even a pious nun donned a mask and male attire for her liaison with the libertine Casanova. In Venice Incognito, James H. Johnson offers a spirited analysis of masking in this carnival-loving city. He draws on a wealth of material to explore the world view of maskers, both during and outside of carnival, and reconstructs their logic: covering the face in public was a uniquely Venetian response to one of the most rigid class hierarchies in European history. This vivid account goes beyond common views that masking was about forgetting the past and minding the muse of pleasure to offer fresh insight into the historical construction of identity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teodora has always longed to visit Venice, and at last she has her chance. But strange and sinister things are afoot in the beautiful floating city. Teo is quickly subsumed into a secret world in which salty-tongued mermaids run subversive printing presses, ghosts good and bad patrol the streets, statues speak, rats read, and librarians fluidly turn into cats. And where a book, The Key to the Secret City, leads Teo straight into the heart of the danger that threatens to destroy the city to which she feels she belongs. An ancient proverb seems to unite Teo with a Venetian boy, Renzo, and with the Traitor who has returned from the dark past to wreak revenge. . . . But who is the Undrowned Child destined to save Venice?

Book excerpt: The Carnival of Venice is one of the most famous in the world and has very ancient origins, At the time of the "Serenissima" the carnival began on December 26 and ended the mardi gras but in some special years carnival lasted for up to 180 days. During the period of greatest glory of Venice , the sixteenth century, there were sumptuous celebrations and parties. At carnival citizens were allowed to wear masks, which made it impossible to make the difference between plebeian and patrician, young and old, rich and poor...... The place of celebration of Venice Carnival has always been St. Mark's Square. It hosted performances of all kinds often arranged by the "Compagnie della Calza" (Companies of Socks), which have been authentic private committees that organized special events and this associations were so important that they were controlled by the "Council of Ten".
