Italian words easily learned from art Works and Art Museums; house, museum and more

Italian flag

It is easy to learn Italian words for foods from menus in restaurants or online and from recipes and good sold in supermarkets.
Another fun way to learn Italian is by looking at list of works by your favourite Italian artists. I just looked at works by de Chirico.

Notting Hill Carnival Pictures At Last + Wikipedia, Leeds, Las Vegas, The Caribbean and Canada, Europe and the USA!

Problem
A million people attending Notting Hill Carnival but not one knows how to load a picture onto Wikipedia.

Answer
Neither do I. I shall have to remedy this.

Update - they've now added a video to this page.

Leeds Carnival
I just discovered there's also a Leeds Carnival, same dates as Notting Hill. The Leeds Carnival has, or had, a king and queen of the carnival.

The latest picture on Wikipedia is from 2009.

LEEDS
A father and daughter were the King and Queen of the Parade in Leeds in 2009.

Another novelty is a Prince and Princess of the Parade for children.

The founders were given honours for their initiative and hard work as you will see if you read the Wikipedia article.

It looks like the revellers and photographers in Leeds have been asleep for eight years. Maybe the tourist board of Leeds could look into this.

The magic words are not 'upload photo' but 'add image'.

UK AND EUROPE

France[edit]

2014 Tropical Carnival of Paris

• Carnaval Antillais de Colombes — every year late June.
• Carnaval Tropical de Paris — every year early July.
• Carnaval of French West Indies, about two months between the Sunday of Epiphany and Ash Wednesday^[44]

Germany[edit]

• Berlin — Karneval der Kulturen (Carnival of Cultures),^[45] every year in May (Whitsuntide weekend)

The Netherlands[edit]

• Rotterdam — "Summer Carnival" Zomercarnaval: occurs every year in July. Each year there are more than 800.000 visitors.^[46]

USA, CARIBBEAN, CANADA

Wiki also has a list and links to numerous Caribbean Carnivals all around the Caribbean, plus more in the USA and Europe, many in the Caribean and several in Canada. 

A few of the festivals have either fizzled out or been cancelled. I wonder if the reason is cost, lack of sponsorship, or violence or the increased cost of security needed. Anyway, plenty of festivals are still taking place.

Why would you or could you go?

You like music.

You like performing arts, singing, dancing, comedy.

You love costumes, looking at them, making them.

You are looking for outdoor activities.

You want to support the event.

You want to sponsor an event.

You want to promote your business of music, songwriting, costumes, food, drink, events,.

You are looking for a surprise or new event for a birthday or anniversary.

You are planning a short trip to family or on business to a specific city or country and want to extend the stay over a weekend or holiday with a specific event to enjoy.
