Al Ponte Antico
One of the most popular hotels in Venice, with high review ratings.
It’s a four star hotel situated in a romantic palace from around year 1500, with a wonderful view over Venice’s Grand Canal from the terrace (picture above).
If you’re planning to visit Venice during this big event, there are two things you must have.
We’re, of course, talking about masks and costumes.
There are plenty of tailors in the city that can make a wide range of handmade carnival costumes, and there are the ones made from luxury materials to really affordable ones.
It’s not so important what your mask or costume will look like; it’s even more your enthusiasm that will ensure you a great time during your stay.
The starting point of this journey takes us long back in the history.
It was held for the first time in the 11th century and it did quickly became a famous symbol of the floating city.
It was stopped in the 18th century, but brought to life again in 1979.
Today, probably everyone in the world have heard about the event.
It launched Venice even higher on the list of must see destinations not only in Italy, but in whole Europe, if not the World.
Earlier, the carnival always began with balls that were held at St Mark’s Square and followed with the fun found in the whole city.
People of the certain social statuses wore masks and costumes.
Very often many of them were connected to the famous Commedie del’Arte or Columbine.
Well, it’s still like that and even better.
