Carnival came to Venice this weekend – and even Covid restrictions couldn’t spoil the fun. Last week it was noticeable how venetians stuck to the regulations over the wearing of masques and showing ‘green’ vaccination passes in shops, cafes and hotels.
On the vaporetto water buses everyone wore masks – in contrast to the London Underground. “The problem is that we have had Covid on every television news -- all the time ,” says Giovanni who runs the fabric shop opposite the Doge’s Palace , founded by his aunt in 1934.
