Chosen to be a "Maria": Inside Venice’s ancient carnival tradition

Join us at the Venice Carnival as we explore the historical tradition of the "Festa delle Marie." We follow 26-year-old Veronica Doria — a Venetian nurse who was chosen from 50 applicants — as she steps into one of the festival’s most symbolic roles. Who are the 12 Marias? Why were they once at the heart of a medieval drama involving pirates, weddings and a daring rescue? And what does this ancient tradition mean for young Venetian women today? Follow the Grand Canal and explore how a thousand year old legend continues to inspire a new generation. What's your favorite carnival tradition in your country? Tell us in the comments!
