Do you know what's the meaning of the "badly missing of Africa"? Maybe yes, or at least you've heard about it.
It catches the ones who has visited it and it remains carved in his heart once at home. Well, this has happened to me suffering the "Badly missing of Venice", a city which is unique in the world and which has conquered my heart and my soul since I've seen for the very first time her Carnival
Ah, Venice's Carnival, a magic place where you can be driven into a magic dimension out of any times, a global word made of colours, magic, fantasy, and any kind of magic sensations.
Venice's Carnival, where in any of her corners you can meet mysterious figures covered by masks which generate in you always the riddle : " Who's under such a disguise ". This is like a kind of game, or a challenge, an interesting one, a fascinating one, because it's you to discover and to understand who's behind such a costume or mask. Maybe there's a boy, or a girl, maybe a man, or a women, a young one or an old one and the very funny and intriguing matter is that you can guess and solve the riddle by looking only at their eyes , while all of them protected and with their real life well hidden by their costumes , smile at your, watch at you. You can learn a lot of each one of them, their life, their story, their dreams, and you know why.. Because : Eyes are the mirror of the soul.
