We probably didn’t notice, but today is Shrove Tuesday, the last day of Carnival. For decades the world has stopped, on the day dedicated to madness. This year, when the world is already at a standstill, due to other kinds of problems, Carnival seems to be a distant memory.
I was reminded of a wrong photo, a photo taken on the Rialto Bridge during the 2019 Carnival. A photo that I had never used, but which, for some reason, I never wanted to delete
Just a year ago, in these days, the world began to stop, and the Venice carnival took place in a minor tone.
But we still talked about it, in a lot of post starting from the “official one” from a Googler, (The Venetian Carnival: A celebration of beauty and fun ), but also with a lot of post from all over the world. Just to mention a few other post of 2020:
- @mockata2 showed us The carnival in Xanthi , a beautiful town that a personally LOVE, and bring me back to beautiful memories. How is the situation in there now?
- @Vitor_Campos wanted to share with us the amazing parade in Carnival in Rio de Janeiro 2020
- @saulobrandao told us about Salvador’s carnival, the biggest popular party in the world
And of course I don’t forget 2019, when I wrote a post including also the history of Carnival: How do you celebrate Carnival?
This year I haven’t seen posts about Carnival, that’s why I said “The LOST Carnival”
Well, we will have a Carnival again in the future, and in those days we will remember 2020-2021 as one of the most unforgettable moments of our life. Here in Venice, the Lost Carnival and The Last Carnival travel together.
How was your last Carnival? Would you like to tell us here with a photo and a few words?
Meanwhile, I look at this video again, and I rediscover that note of sadness that the Venice carnival always gives us, and that this year, looking at it again, looks like a video of memories
