Description
Carnival started in venice last Saturday. Here a substantial group of people organized themselves as the tatty crusaders of the First Crusade.While single or couples of masks are easier to see, there are many, Venetians and 'strangers' ('foresti' in Venetian, that means 'foreigners literally) alike that work many months and come as an orgnanized group of Carnival masks.
The People's Crusade is part of the First Crusade and lasted roughly six months from April 1096 to October. It is also known as the Peasants' Crusade or the Paupers' Crusade. Led by Walter Sans Avoir and Peter the Hermit, the army was destroyed by the Seljuk forces of Kilij Arslan.
