Thank you so much, Giangi! We are going to Venice again at the end of the month – it will be a brand new experience for some of the family:) Definitely looking to a Carnivale time at some point, too!

Most likely! I never visited Venice during the carnival, but it is just as crowded in August when all of Italy is on holiday plus millions of foreign tourists. I got the gondola ride and bought a mask, but saw no extravagant costumes, so maybe one day…

We were there in November and still crowds but not too bad, that is the only thing that would stop me and make me rethink a visit at Carnevale is the crowds… maybe a good view from the window out of an apartment or hotel is in order…

You will, soon, hopefully. And will fall in love with Italy, Venice or Sicily. You might even decide to move there, you never know!

It would be something else to see the rich costumes and the parties during the Carnevale in Venice! I wish that too and hope it becomes a reality for both of us.

Italy has that effect on you: the minute you step out of the airport, you want to stay there forever. For Capri, out of the boat:)) I see myself going to live back there at some point.
