Ok, I can already set up a sensation about the carnival of Venice 2009.
Well, it confirm that Venice is a city to see and not to live. Sundey, the 15th I´ve found myself in Piazza San Marco unable to move forward. Tousend of people, not masked were standing and watching, and carneval is a situation where the people shold be active and enjoy.
No, standing and watching the other, waiting that someone is doing something.
Sad...
Every Bar who was trying to make some music anf lock the people had to stop at 9 pm in order to avoid a big money fee from the local police.
I don´t say that people didn´t enjoy,I´m saying: it happens one time a year, just let the energy out and enjoy carneval....insterad of big happening only in San Marco give some contribute to Venetian artists who can fill and express themselves around 'Venice.
And some music, maybe this time untill midnight...;-)

Visit per il Carnevale di Venezia 2009 ed è stata un'esperienza davvero magica. Consiglio a tutti di non mancare a questo grande evento. Mi sentivo come se avessi spostato in tempo per l'età d'oro della città.
ReplyDeleteI understand what you mean about being only for one night. But the authorities in Venice are very strict because of so much abuse they receive from tourists.
ReplyDeleteImage the next day, beer cans all over, trash in every corner, and drunk people in the streets. Sad but true.
It happens as well in New York.
