A Carnevale Ogni Scherzo Vale!"

On Wednesday, February 22 IAA had their annual Venetian mask making event for Carnevale.
Created in Venice, Carnevale is a two week celebration that ends right before lent with martedi' grasso (fat Tuesday).  The festival is famous for its elaborate masks especially Venetian masks like those shown here:

People also wear elaborate costumes, attend masquerade balls, play games and throw confetti.  Pranks are common which led to the phrase:  "A Carnevale ogni scherzo vale."  This means that during Carnevale anything goes.

Here are some pictures from our event:
