Venice, Veneto, Italy. Superbly crafted carnival masks on display in up-market shop window.
The city of Venice, capital of the Veneto region of Italy, is made up of many small islands, which lie in the Venetian Lagoon at the northern end of the Adriatic Sea. Venice and its lagoon were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. Carnival masks play an important role in Venetian life and range from cheap souvenirs to expensive hand-made works of art such as these.
