Whichever belief, the idea was that carnevale was a way of using up rich foods and meat just before Lent.  During the forty days of fasting in Lent no rich foods, fats, dairy, meat or sugar should be consumed, and no parties or other celebrations could take place. So in preparation for the solemn Lent period, the whole community would get together, have a huge party and drink and be merry!<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re planning on experiencing Carnevale and haven&#8217;t yet booked your accommodation, don&#8217;t leave it to the last minute.
