I left as the last installment of my visit to the city of Venezia in 2015 (rather than visiting a real stay that lasted a week with friends when I was still living in Italy) the fantastic Venice Carnival.
A multicolored parade of masks and history that is worth visiting in images.
Unique in its style in the entire world, the origins of the Venice Carnival date back to the 11th century, although it was actually declared as such a festival only in the 13th century.
On that occasion, the "guest of honor" was Italian cuisine and gastronomy in general, apart from several cultural events, among which a tribute to the three tenors stood out: Placido Domingo, José Carreras and Luciano Pavarotti and to the Marchioness Casati, the eccentric Italian heir patron of arts and fashion who lived from 1881 to 1957, the inspiring muse of Italian futurists such as Marinetti, Depero and Boccioni. inspiring muse of artists and literary figures of the caliber of Robert de Montesquieu, Jean Cocteau and Cecil Beaton.
The most celebrated masks are those that represent characters such as the Bauta, characterized by the typical black cloak called Tabarro and a white mask called Larva.
The Moretta, a female version of the Bauta, with veils and lace, is also very popular, according to some inspirational stories of an erotic nature in some games that were held in ancient times.
We must not forget the more than famous Colombina, a mask different from the others because it is adorned with gold and silver, feathers and crystals, and covers only half of the face. It has always been the most chosen mask for women.
Another popular mask that has a bird-like figure is that of the Plague Doctor. In fact, the origin of this mask is not only real but also tragic since it has its origin in 1600, when the French doctor De Lorme hid his face for the first time to protect it during visits to plague patients.
Dejé como última entrega de mi visita a la ciudad de Venezia en el año 2015 (más que visita una verdadera y propia estadía que duró una semana en casa de amigos cuando yo todavía vivía en Italia) el fantástico Carnaval de Venecia.
Un desfile multicolor de máscaras e historia que vale la pena en recorrer en imágenes.
Unico en su estilo en el mundo entero los orígenes del Carnaval de Venecia se remontan al siglo XI aunque realmente como festividad fue declarado como tal recién en el siglo XIII.
En esa oportunidad el "huésped de honor" fue la cocina italiana y la gastronomía en general aparte de varios eventos culturales entre los cuales se destacó un homenaje a los tres tenores: Placido Domingo, José Carreras y Luciano Pavarotti y a la marquesa Casati, la excéntrica heredera italiana patrona de las artes y la moda que vivió de 1881 a 1957, la musa inspiradora de futuristas italianos como Marinetti, Depero y Boccioni. musa inspiradora de artistas y figuras literarias del calibre de Robert de Montesquieu, Jean Cocteau y Cecil Beaton.
Las máscaras más celebradas son las que representan a personajes como la Bauta, caracterizada por el típico manto negro llamado Tabarro y una máscara blanca llamada Larva.
También es muy popular la Moretta, una versión femenina de la Bauta, con velos y encajes, según algunos relatos fuente inspiradora de carácter erótico en algunos juegos que se celebraban en la antiguedad.
No debemos olvidar tampoco a la más que famosa Colombina, una máscara diferente a las demás porque está adornada con oro y plata, plumas y cristales, y cubre solo la mitad del rostro. Ha sido siempre la máscara más elegida por las mujeres.
Otra máscara popular que tiene una figura parecida a la de un pájaro es la del Doctor de la peste.
En realidad el origen de esta máscara no solo es real sino también trágico ya quetiene su origen en 1600, cuando el médico francés De Lorme ocultó por primera vez su rostro para protegerlo durante las visitas a pacientes con peste.
