Where Where

Venice is a city towards the north of Italy, that stretches to 117 little islands which are found in the Adriatic Sea that surrounds Italy. The Adriatic Sea pushes large waves near the outskirts of Venice, forcing the city to become a “floating city”, and the people to travel around in special boats called Gondolas.

The “Carnevale” The “Carnevale”Every year the people of Venice have a “Carnevale”.

This Carnevale happens a few weeks before Easter, and lasts for ten days. It celebrates the

Venetian’s past and their present.

The Carnevale includes a giant display

of fireworks over the Grand Canal, and

many dances, some of which are located in the Doge palace. The people dress up in 18th century clothes and masks, disguising themselves, so that they are unrecognisable. There are also theatrical performances to celebrate the Carnevale.

Venice’s Symbol Venice’s Symbol Venice’s Symbol is the winged lion. Venice

claimed this symbol as their own when Mark the apostle’s remains were transported from his tomb to Venice in 828 AD. Venice’s Symbol has been painted into many famous Venetian artworks and for many years. The winged lion usually has it’s paw on a book in the symbol, and inscribed on that book are some words in Latin, which mean: “Peace be upon you,

o’ Mark, my apostle.”
