2018 Carnival of Venice, January 27 – February 13 2018, Venice, Italy

January 27, 2018 By Travel Magazine Tagged With: Carnival of Venice, Venice Carnival

The famous 2018 Carnival of Venice will begin on Saturday, January 27 and ends on Tuesday, February 13.

“The modern concept of carnival with masks may date back to medieval Venice (or earlier) or as late as early modern Florence. A particular aficionado of Carnival was Pope Leo X. Each year the people waited for the pope to issue an edict, which allowed for the festival to take place. However, the celebration of carnival was not foreordained”.
