Venice Republic’s victory over its enemy: the Patriarch of Aquileia. The people of Venice gathered in Saint Mark’s Square (San Marco) to dance and celebrate their victory. Ever since then, the victory was celebrated in the streets of Venice. As time went on, the carnival was celebrated for its own sake and most revelers probably had no idea how it began. It was simply an excuse to have a lot of fun!”

This design is available to purchase only in limited amounts on artleove.co

Square Koala Red & Twill Silk Scarf Australian Koala. These Un Poco Scarf designs are a homage to one of Australia´s most infamous animals. The Koala is a marsupial which despite being an Australian National Symbol, lives high up on eucalyptus trees only in Eastern and South Eastern regions of the country. To help support their tree-clinging activities, they have strong cartilage at the end of their curved spine which helps them to wedge comfortably between the forks of the trees.
