This was high Carnevale season, so there were lots of people dressed up, some in just the masks being hawked at competitive prices in seemingly every other store and street booth, others in full-out renaissance garb, or phantom of the opera, or harry potter. the traditional costumes and masks were suprisingly beautiful in the upper price ranges... i'd always kind of dismissed them as wierd. It would have been cool to see Mardi Gras in New Orleans for comparison, this seemed fairly tourist-oriented too, I didn't see too many younger children celebrating like in Tivoli, and there were far to many men with two or three obscenely long cameras dangling around their bellies.... festive it was though, and not a bad atmosphere...
