Carnevale

Citizens of Venice celebrating the Carnevale.

The Carnevale is an annual event held in Venice, Italy. It is essentially a carnival unique to Venice where people wear masks.

Ezio obtains a mask and has his Plain Cape embroidered during this event, in order to remain anonymous. It is during this event that Ezio retrieves the Golden Mask to gain entrance to Marco Barbarigo's personal party in order to assassinate him.

Despite being featured in the trailer, Carnevale itself has no major role beyond the assassination of Marco Barbarigo.

A typical Carnevale costume.

During the Carnevale, Ezio wore a Carnevale mask and cape, given to him by Leonardo da Vinci, helped him to avoid suspicion from the guards.

After participating in and winning the Carnevale's games, Ezio earned his prize, the Golden Mask. However, Silvio Barbarigo secretly bribed the M.C. to give the Golden Mask to Dante Moro instead. Ezio then stole the Golden Mask from Dante and wore it, replacing his plain mask and granting himself access to Marco Barbarigo's party.
