5. Carnival of Venice


A Carnival of fairy tales, marvels and fantastic natures: the woods, the valleys, the seas, the mountains, the lagoons and the mysterious animal and vegetable creatures inhabiting them.

 

This year’s Carnival is globalised because, from its origins, each culture has drawn from its heritage of fantasy and fairy tales as a narrative metaphor of life. Humankind has always felt the need to narrate the mystery of nature through fairy tales.
