📝 About Carnival of Venice 2027
Dating back to at least 1162, when Venetians celebrated a military victory in Piazza San Marco, the Carnival of Venice became one of Europe's most extravagant festivals during the Renaissance. It was banned by Austrian rulers in 1797 and not officially revived until 1979, when the Italian government sought to restore Venice's cultural heritage and attract winter tourism. Today the two-week celebration draws around three million visitors who fill the city's canals and squares in handcrafted masks — from the beaked plague-doctor Medico della Peste to the ghostly white Bauta. Highlights include the Flight of the Angel from the Campanile tower, the Best Mask competition, and elaborate private masquerade balls in historic palazzi.
