Carnival is one of the most popular and colorful varieties of traditional festivals in the world. Originally a purely religious celebration, today carnival has absorbed a whole range of ancient and modern influences, becoming synonymous with a truly extraordinary celebration. Carnival traditions include mass street celebrations with noisy processions, circus and theater elements. Carnival allowed people to go beyond the ordinary – to plunge into a world of sensual pleasures and abundance. The main feature of carnival was the rich use of masks from the folklore arsenal. The carnival masquerade allowed its participants not only to change beyond recognition, but also to become a participant of the mesmerizing action, built according to the canons of ancient mysteries.

The Italian endeavor soon spread to the major cities of France and then Germany.
