Carneval di Venezia ( Carnival of Venice ) is a must visit at least once in your lifetime, and to get into the spirit of things, a mask is a must. Venice has seen some form of mask going back to the twelveth century but it was in 1608 that the mask was deemed proper for only the Carneval or official functions. Today, the Carneval di Venezia takes place in February of each year.
Mask making is done by masters of the craft and only a handful are considered the best. One of the artist's that has an amazing store and design shop across the small cobblestone walkway from each other is, Hamid, owner of Ca' del Sol. His designs are not only masks to wear but art work that can grace the walls of your home, office, or business. Every type of mask is made by Hamid and his staff and you will find Hamid in his store to help you decide which mask style, size, and shape is best for you. If you plan to be in Venice during the "Carnival" stop by and see the beautiful and the grotesque masks that are available to purchase as well as costumes to wear. If you visit Venice anytime of the year, the mask makers shops are a must see to re-live the past customs of Venice and prepare for the future fun making days of Carneval. Ca' del Sol is located at Castello, 4964 (S. Zaccaria-Fond. Osmarin). Look for Hamid and his craftsperson, Mercedes, and say hello from travelgourmet.

You very well transmit in your page the magic side of Venice and Burano. Believe it or not, I have not (yet!) been to Venice but will for sure follow you among the canals, on a gondola! | nichole_521 Wed Feb 20, 2008 00:43 UTC
I remember getting off the train in Venice and thinking oh my goodness, this is like a movie. It was so surreal. Lovely pages, lovely pictures. :) | aussirose Sat Feb 9, 2008 04:55 UTC
I love your writing style Larry! You make this city come alive...I can't wait to go!! Burano indeed looks colourful!...and your romantic gondola write up definately makes me want to do that too! Cheers, Ann :o) | Herkbert Mon Dec 3, 2007 20:25 UTC
