Carnival 2011 in Venice is over. The costumes, the masks, the balls, parades, parties and frittelle are all finished until next year. All that remains is confetti in the streets; that and the memories. Now it's time for the lenten fast. Ha! I saw many people breakfasting on frittelle still this morning. So much for that fast. In case any of you want to start planning for next year, Carnival in Venice 2012 will be from February 11 to 21, 2012.
Here are my favorite scenes from this year's Carnival in photos. Enjoy!
What gorgeous pictures - the colors and, of course, the backdrops, are unbelievable!!! Thanks for posting these lovely posts and pics!!!
