　　There is a dream-like quality to the essence that is Venice. This magical city with its beautiful buildings， its florid history， its silky liquid streets， brings out the romantics in all who visit.

　　Of course， Venice is known for its gondolas， the drama of the Bridge of Sighs， and for the music that fills the air. But there s another side to this most historic of cities. Masks and their many designs are virtually everywhere.

　　In every store window， in each narrow alley， the masks of the Carnival intrigue passersby. There is no doubt that the beauty of Venice will call visitors back time and again， but Carnival is the magical occasion when the “masks come alive，” truly winning one s heart and soul.
