Description

Carne Vale marks the festive period of feasting and public merrymaking right before the solemn, 40-day fasting season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday. Over centuries, it grew into a grand celebration featuring elaborate masks, street parades, and festive costumes in places like Venice and Viareggio.
