Masks and Faces of Venice Carnival 2020

The carnival, originating back in the 11th century, was once a two-month-long festivity that found itself in decline in the 18th century.

The revelry, however, had new life breathed into it in 1979, and since then people can take the liberty to slip into stylish and splendid dresses or put on masks to enjoy the parade and live music events at the two-week-long festival.
