    The Italian version, Carnevale, started in the historic port city of Venice in the Middle Ages when the great squares of the city were opened for the aristocratic pageantry, public sport competitions, and performances by roving minstrels and actors. For a few hundred years the Carnevale in Venice evolved with more and more elaborate costumes and lavish events. Political and religious reformers of the 18th and 19th centuries eventually placed a stop on  the extravagance of this festival. By the early 20th century Venice Carnevale had stopped being celebrated altogether.
