Hide The Children: It's Carnevale Time

At Carnevale time, Venetians tend to fall into two camps: retreaters and revelers.

The retreaters avoid pre-Lenten open spaces, especially at night. They take the back calles and stay clear of the Piazza (except for a mandatory ombra in the shade of the Campanile).

The revelers , on the other hand, dive right in and drink it up. In this latter camp is one Ms. Cat Bauer, the flaming red-haired novelist extraordinaire and woman-on-the-scene at Carnevale 2007, which is presently in full flower. For those of you who want the view from the street, Cat is blogging the Carnevale from her myspace page. Enjoy.

This year, by the way, Cat was the first foreign lass ever to sit on the jury of the oldest continuing Venetian celebration, the Festa delle Marie.  (A predictable controversy ensued.)

Brava Gattina!

Wow! I had so gotten used to seeing "Whither Tom Price" whenever I clicked onto Veniceblog, that I was startled to see a new post! Hope all is well and thanks for the Carnevale update!

Hello, I'm from Venezuela (little Venice!) in South America.
Sorry to bother you, our family is investigating about the possible author of a tapestry (depicting the Rialto bridge). Which was given as a wedding gift to our grandmother in 1931. It was stolen, long ago, but we are writing a small family book.
The tapestry can be seen in our aunt wedding pics here:

Please let me know if you recognize the author. Thanks!
