Venice's carnival: nowadays

As everybody knows, we are actually in the Lent period. Carnivals are finished, and for the luckiest one, you have been able to take part at one of those important events, beginning once more time every years.

In a few days, we'll show you how we did it in our school, but actually, we'll just finish the description of the Venice's carnival. ;)

First, we should say that carnival no longer mean that a doge has been victorious, it is just a touristic event. A world of dreams opens its doors for a few days, allowing people to drink and eat delicious things, to flirt, to escape from real life.
The mask is the symbol of the carnival. Every year around the world, anyone understand that this bauta, even not knowing the real name, is associated to Venice. It's possible for mascherari to make impressing masks which are usefull only a few days every year.
Some important events occurs during those few days. This year, the official edition of the carnival was: "Sensation, 6 senses for 6 districts" The aim is to divide the city in different geographic parts where people can profit differently of the carnival. If you want to use your nose, many parfums could be smelt in Santa croce, whereas you can hear beautiful musics at Dorsoduro, taste wonderful food at Cannaregio, touch at Castello, watch at san Polo and think at san Marco. Everyone should find what is the most interesting for him/her.
There is also a something for young children: the best mzsked and costumed child earn an award, many art expositions are opened, some people are costumed in dinausorus ( you need to see it to believe it!), many animations for both children and their parents, theatres are opened, the angel flight is during the first sunday...
The only problem is to stay there... Hotels are all empty many months ago!!!
