Venice

                                            Venice, the capital of northern Italy’s Veneto region, is built on more than 100 small islands in a lagoon in the Adriatic Sea. It has no roads, just canals – including the Grand Canal thoroughfare – lined with Renaissance and Gothic palaces. The central square, Piazza San Marco, contains St. Mark’s Basilica, which is tiled with byzantine mosaics, and the camoanile bell tower offering views of the city's red roofs. Venice, alongside with Paris, is probably the most romantic city in the world. Well, at least for those who are in love. But what is not the opinion of a group, the very true fact about Venice is that Venice is beautiful and charming any time of the year. Venice is known for its bridges. There are 417 bridges in Venice and 72 of those are private.

hundreds of river canals flow through the heart of the city.

Carnivals and festivals are the main attractions for tourism. During Carnival, laws prohibiting wearing of expensive lace were suspended.Every year 18 million tourists visit Venice. That’s, on average, around 50 thousand people per day. The peak time is during the carnival with more than three million visitors.In 1608 Council of Ten approved wearing masks only during the carnival. The ones who would broke the law were heavily punished, from two years in prison to public beating and binding to the pillar of shame.There are three types of masks: bauta, moretta i larva. Bauta usually completely covers face, doesn’t have mouth hole and it has a lot of gilt. Sometimes  it covers only upper parts of face so that you can talk, eat and drink, but it still hides the identity. Moretta is oval mask in black velvet and was worn by women of all social classes, usually during the visits to the monastery. Larva is usually white and is worn with the hat and the cloak.
