An In-depth Look at the Carnival History

The Carnival History of Brazil is quite intriguing and informative. The first
pre Lent carnivals happened in Italy. Carnival came from the word Carne
Vale which translates to ‘Goodbye to Meat”. Since then, the term carnival
was used to signal the start of a 40-day abstinence period known as Lent.

The carnivals that were conducted in Italy were quite similar to the
carnivals in South America, minus all the wild partying and Samba music.
The carnivals of Italy were simple costumed festivals which were
accompanied by merry making and music. The practice of the carnivals
first spread to Spain, France, and other European countries and then it
reached the Americas and spread into Portugal and Brazil.
