The Carnival in Venice originated in 1162 when the State of Venice won in the war against Ulrico, Patriarch of Aquileia. To celebrate this victory, dances were organized every year in St. Mark's Square. When magicians joined the celebration, a special kind of street theather was born.
Today, the carnival is a celebration of the end of winter and the beginning of spring. This year the Carnival was held from February 14-24.
