The Midnight Masquerade Print

I lived in Italy for three years. One year my friends and I decided to spend a night exploring Venezia (Venice) during Carnevale. Around midnight it began to rain. We took cover under the marble white entrance of a church. A member of our group, who wasn't exactly sober, decided to pass the time by heckling every passerby. A bald eastern European man found my friend's words so entertaining that he stopped in his tracks, turned and approached our group. After looking us over, one by one, he invited us to attend an underground party. We spent the next 20 minutes following this mysterious man through turns and tunnels until we came to a large wooden door (Note: more than half of the people in our group were highly skilled in hand-to-hand combat, I do not advise going to parties with strangers, especially if you do not have sufficient protection). The small courtyard was silent, except for the sound of the rain hitting the marble slabs beneath our feet. A small gentleman in all black answered the door and looked at each of us wearily, before letting us inside. He spoke to our host in an indistinguishable dialect before opening a second door. The second door opened into a shockingly loud club lit with backlights. We followed our host past two fully stocked bars, through three dance floors to a pair of tables overlooking the entire club. 
His friends greeted us and the festivities began. This experience inspired the creation of this painting.
