  History Carnival started as a time for celebration and expression throughout the classes, as wearing masks hid any form of identity between social classes. Today, approximately 30,000 visitors come to Venice each day for Carnivals. One of the most important events is the contest for the best mask, placed at the last weekend of the Carnival.

  Venetian carnival masks Masks have always been a central feature of the Venetian carnival; traditionally people were allowed to wear them between the festival of Santo Stefano (St. Stephen's Day, December 26) and the start of the carnival season and midnight of Shrove Tuesday. They have always been around Venice.

  Bauta Bauta (sometimes referred to as baùtta) is the whole face, with a stubborn chin line, no mouth, and lots of "gilding". It tends to be the main type of mask worn during the Carnival. It was used also on many other occasions as a device for hiding the wearer's identity and social status.

  Medico Della Peste (The Plague Doctor) The Medico Della Peste with its long beak is one of the most bizarre and recognisable of the Venetian masks. The striking design has a macabre history originating from 17th century French physician Charles de Lorme who adopted the mask together with other sanitary precautions while treating plague victims.

  Music and dance Dancers at the 2005 carnival Incorporated into every aspect of the Rio carnival are dancing and music. The most famous dance is the samba, a brazilian dance with african influences. The samba was created by the African slaves mixing with the choros, street bands, of Brazil. Other dances include the lundu, the polka, and the maxixe.

  Before the samba gained the percussive style, it was played with flutes and string instruments because percussion was looked upon as corrupt. It was in 1930 that the shift came to allow for percussion instruments. There is an ensemble of drum and percussion players that are led by a man that plays an apito, a whistle used to control the music. Instruments of carnival
