A huge bull, Carnival 2012 Allegory, arrives at Venice. The Allegory is inspired by ancient rites of the venetian lagoon, linked to the antique celebration of the bulls. The Bull will be our carnival main symbol, that will symbolize the kermesse until the last day, Tuesday the 21st, when the Bull will become the protagonist of a ritual of “sacrifice”.
