Carnevale is coming, get out the confetti

When I first noticed that there was more confetti around than usual, I thought it might be that this was a popular season for weddings - like summer in England or October November in India and Hong Kong. But given the amount of confetti currently on the ground in Trieste there would have to be a bride on every corner, as you might be able to see from the photo of Piazza Unita on Sunday.
Then in the square I saw a lion in his pushchair. And a princess chasing a balloon. And I realised that the dusting of confetti was to do with the run up to Carnevale.

I will have to stock up before the weekend in Venice and Muggia.
