HWEO - Venice

UOI6 - How We Express Ourselves - Carnival of Venice

Carnevale di Venezia - Carnival of Venice

It's said that the Carnival of Venice was started from a victory of the "Serenissima Repubblica" against the Patriarch of Aquileia, Ulrico di Treven in the year 1162. In the honour of this victory, the people started to dance and gather in San Marco Square. Apparently, this festival started on that period and became official in the Renaissance. In the seventeenth century, the baroque carnival was a way to save the prestigious image of Venice in the world. It was very famous during the eighteenth century. It encouraged licence and pleasure, but it was also used to protect Venetians from present and future anguish. However, under the rule of the King of Austria, the festival was outlawed entirely in 1797 and the use of masks became strictly forbidden. It reappeared gradually in the nineteenth century, but only for short periods and above all for private feasts, where it became an occasion for artistic creations.

After a long absence, the Carnival returned in 1979. The Italian government decided to bring back the history and culture of Venice, and sought to use the traditional Carnival as the centerpiece of its efforts. The redevelopment of the masks began as the pursuit of some Venetian college students for the tourist trade. Since then, approximately 3 million visitors come to Venice every year for the Carnival. One of the most important events is the contest for la maschera più bella ("the most beautiful mask") which will be judged by a panel of international costume and fashion designers.

Key Questions:

1. What was the original reason behind the Carnival of Venice?

2. Why do they hold the festival today?

3. What is the most well-known feature of this festival?

4. How do you think that this festival affects the city of Venice?

Ramadan - POEM - HWEO

Ramadan, the month of fasting
Doesn't all begin at once.
It begins with a whisper
And a prayer
And a wish.

As the month of Ramadan approaches,
We search the sky for a sign.
Waiting.
Anticipating.
That silver sliver of brightness,
The shinning white crescent
That is the Ramadan Moon.
