Venice Carnival recovers former glory
Thousands lined the bridges and canal banks of Venice to watch the floating parade.
One of the world's oldest carnivals, it started in the 11th century as a celebration before Lent.
The two-week event now attracts tourists from all over the globe, with dancers, costumes and music lighting up the city. It was scaled down during the pandemic, but got back to normal this year.
