An ancient and elegant tradition, the Carnivale of Venice is the most famous Carnival throughout Italy, dating back to the XII century: for some days (but celebrations could last also months) moral rules were forgotten and transgressions were fully allowed. The Carnival of Venice reached its climax in 1700, the last century of the Venetian Republic, thanks to renowned personalities such as  Carlo Goldoni and Giacomo Casanova.
