Venice Carnival, Italy: The Carnival of Venice is an annual festival held in Venice, Italy, famous throughout the world for its elaborate costumes and masks. The Carnival ends on Shrove Tuesday, which is the day before the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday. According to legend, the Carnival of Venice began after the military victory of the Venetian Republic over the patriarch of Aquileia, Ulrich II, in the year 1162. In honour of this, the people started to dance and gather in St Mark's Square. It lasts for 10 days, usually starting at the end of January or beginning of February. Masks have always been an important feature of the Venetian Carnival. Wikipedia

Strolling through a flooded St. Mark's Square feels surreal, with Venetians wading through the water like it's just another day. The historic architecture stands unfazed, a testament to Venice's timeless charm amid nature's whims.

The first photo shows the Palazzo Maffei, a Baroque palace from the fifteenth century. The top of the facade has six statues of Roman gods.

On top of the white column in front of the Palazzo is the Lion of Saint Mark, which is a symbol of the Republic of Venice. Verona was part of the Republic from 1405 until 1797.
