U3A April 2025 Meeting

The talk at West Cheshire Rural u3a meeting on April 17th is titled Venice Carnevale "Masks, Myths and Mystique".

Originating in 1162, the Venice Carnevale has always been a time of excitement and merriment, the last fling before Ash Wednesday and the rigours of Lent.

This talk reveals the history and Myths behind the great festival tradition of Venice, illustrating spectacular Carnevale masks and costumes set against the backdrop of the stunning buildings and ravishing vistas.
