Carnival of Venice

The Carnival of Venice is an annual festival, held in Venice, Italy. The Carnival starts around two weeks before Ash Wednesday and ends on Shrove Tuesday (Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras), the day before Ash Wednesday.
Carnivale started as a time for celebration and expression throughout the classes, as wearing masks hid any form of identity between social classes. During the 1970's, the Italian government decided to bring back the history and culture of Venice, and sought to use the traditional Carnival as the centerpiece of their efforts. Today, approximately 30,000 visitors come to Venice each day for Carnivals.

San Terenzo : a village near Tuscany / Un village près de la Toscane

The history of the town of San Terenzo is very ancient. It originated as a town in which predominantly fishermen lived and has maintained its integrity throughout the centuries as a typical fishing village in the region of Liguria.

San Terenzo is located just 2 kilometers from Lerici.

The ancient name of the town was Portiolo (perhaps an olive oil port or little port). The name changed many centuries ago to San Terenzo in honor of a wealthy pilgrim who came from far away Scotland and settled on the coast of the bay.
