January 30, 2016 - February 9, 2016 Venice Carnival
For two weeks before the Great Lent, Venice, already attracting romantics from around the world all year round, is filled with newcomers from fairy-tale worlds, bright masks, carnival costumes, music and laughter. The Venetian carnival is familiar to everyone, and more than half a million fans of the magical atmosphere of the medieval festival come to admire this miracle every year.
The city on the water, Venice, has its own unique charm, and its numerous canals, gondoliers and architecture are pushing the thought of the beautiful. Most of the holidays held in the city are directly related to art in all its manifestations. Anyone who at least once will visit Venice in its solemn splendor, is unlikely to be able to forget it.
The Venetian carnival is famous all over the world for its beauty, luxury and bizarre masks. It takes place every February before Lent and lasts 12 days.
The carnival opens with the ancient holiday Festa delle Marie, dedicated to the liberation of Venetian girls from the clutches of pirates of Istria. Further on the St. Mark's Square you can see a grand carnival procession of people in amazing costumes and masks, each of which can be called a work of art. Balls-masquerades, theatrical performances, performances and fireworks are also permanent attributes of the holiday.
One of the most famous forums of world art is the Venice Biennale. This is an international art exhibition, which takes place every two years between the beginning of June and the end of November.
The Venice Biennale each time has a specific theme, and the best pavilions and artists recognized by the jury awards awards - "Golden Lions."
The Venice Film Festival is the oldest international event in the field of cinema, which takes place annually in August-September.
