This is one of my all time favourite costumes at the Venice Carnevale. In fact, this is the winner of the Best Costume Award at the Venice Carnevale in 2020. The title of this costume is called Capodimonte - named after the iconic Italian porcelain figures of the 1700s. The Venice Carnevale is not entirely about masked costumers. Local Italians prefer painted faces/ historical costumes. Just a streetside portrait for young Leonardo, who wears the Capodimonte costume this year.
