CARNEVALE Di VeneciA - Venice (Italy) February 2018
The Carnival in Venice is a cultural event in Europe, that I really wanted ti see and experience.
In my 8th grade in the German school, we had an art project about this event and my mother and I went to Venice to see it all live!
Venice is a great city. Its in northern Italy at the Adriatic coast. Its a city in water, because it is build on swampy ground and a lot of canals run through this amazing old city. The bis one is the Canale Grande. You can go by boats and the typical Gondolas to come from one place to another.
Venice had a long and famous history, many great buildings and even this great Carneval event. This comes from the Renaissance times after the great Plaque. People wanted to have fun and wore imaginative and colorful costumes. Today, many people come to Venice every year to see the costumes. It is very interesting. Venetians but also many people from all over the world come in splendid historical robes and clothing or fantasy costumes. Many of them wear the typical venetian masks with feathers and glitter or Plague masks. Everything is colorful and special.
Because we are also interested in art and history, we visited the famous Palazzo Ducal, the Doge's palace. Here you can see a lot of art as well as the prisons in the wet cellars.
On the Piazza San Marco there is the bell tower Campanile and the St Mark's Basilika. The Rialto bridge is also very famous sight in Venice. Its a bridge with shops left and right of a small street via the Canale.
The trip to Venice was very impressive. It was really great to be part of this event and to see this world famous city.
