Nathaniel has had about four cups of coffee, so please bear with him as he and Darcy jump into the world of the Venice Carnavale.

I can hear you now, your questions coming to me:

What is the Carnavale? Why is it in February, one of the worst times to go to Italy (or best, if you're on a budget!)? What are the little fried pieces of Heaven called "fritelle"? And most importantly, I want a mask, where do I get one?

Well, this episode has you covered! It covers everything you need to know, and some things that are just nice to know.

Plus:

Where to buy authentic masks:

La Bauta

Atelier Marega

La Bottega Dei Mascareri

San Marco 596

Fritelle (or, Pastry Shops):

Majer

Tonolo

Rizzardini

Dal Mas

Pasticceria Toletta (Next door at the Bar all Toletta has great (and cheap) sandwiches!)

Rosa Salva

Thank you all so much for listening!
