The first mention of the carnival in Venice belongs to
1094, although the XIII—XIV centuries masks on carnivals did not
wear. In 1162 to celebrate the victory over the Patriarch of
Aquileia began the festivities at the Piazza San Marco. Presumably
since that time, the carnival became an annual event. In 1690-ies of the
Stolnik P. A. Tolstoy left the following description of the
carnival. (Первое упоминание карнавала в Венеции относится к 1094 году, хотя до
XIII—XIV веков масок на карнавалах не носили. В 1162 году в честь
победы над патриархом Аквилеи началось народное гуляние на площади
Сан-Марко. Предположительно с того времени карнавал стал ежегодным. В
1690-е годы стольник П. А. Толстой оставил следующее описание
карнавала.)

My brother invited me to his birthday party in Britain. I was very happy when I found out about it! The next day, I went to his place and we went to his house. I gave him a new picture, which I painted myself and I tried very hard. He was so happy that he immediately hung it on the wall. When we decided to go out one friend told a joke:
— Dear, what do you give on March 8?
- Oh, I don't even know...
- Then I'll give you another year to think about it.
We all laughed at once, it was a lot of fun outside!
