�The Carnival in Venice is no goof, no consumistic ceremony, but sincere, wonderful heartfelt tradition that goes back in time almost a millennium�, it is claimed. However, long-established tradition, which has usually involved a beautiful woman swooping down onto Venice�s St. Mark�s Squire from the basilica�s bell tower to mark the start of the Carnival was broken this year when rapper Coolio had been set to perform the �flight of the angel� instead.
