Party time at the Venice carnival

Friday, 28 Feb, 2007 0

Over 30,000 tourists flocked to the lagoon city on the last day of Italy’s most famous carnival celebration, city authorities said. An equal number of masked guests was said to have paraded through the city over the weekend.

The Venice Mardi Gras will be capped Tuesday at 11.30pm with a gran finale in St Mark’s Square and a 14-minute fireworks show. Eight tonnes of fireworks will be fired from three barges in the lagoon to the music of Ennio Morricone, who on Sunday in Los Angeles will receive an Oscar award for his career.

The show offered music, ballet, theatre, circus and all the arts.
