Well, I am addicted to Venice and the carnival. It is just magic, cannot call it differently. Each time I walk with my costume on San Marco, it feels like a fairytale.

I live near Venice and I always love going to this unique city. But during Covid19 my husband and me had a surreal experience: Venezia was almost empty.
