It began in the 15th century, but the tradition can be traced back to the beginning of the 14th Century. Masks have always been a central feature of the Venetian carnival . The Carnival starts around two weeks before Ash Wednesday and ends on Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday. It can be made in leather or with the original glass technique. The streets of Venice Carnival were full of people in masks, and no differentiation could be made between nobility and the common people. Bauta is the whole face, with a stubborn chin line, no mouth, and lots of gilding. Generally, the costume worn was a cloak with a long-nosed mask. Also popular were masked couples, where a man and a woman would dress as allegorical characters. One of the most important events is the contest for the best mask, placed at the last weekend of the Carnival. Today, approximately 30,000 visitors come to Venice each day for Carnivals. * *
