February, a short month but super full of events, after all it is the craziest holiday month of the year: Carnival!
We decided to create for you two posts one dedicated to the Italian Carnival, and the other to Carnival in the world. Let’s start with our beautiful country, which is always a well of history, traditions and events that is plotted from generation to generation (alas too often we forget it!). So let’s see the most famous carnival parties in Italy, from the famous ones to those perhaps less known but equally spectacular!
Venice Carnival
it is obviously one of the most famous and most eventful, we dare say perhaps even one of the most expensive visits to the exorbitant prices of hotels in this period but also of some events themselves such as the coveted gala dinner.
It must be said, however, that the events are really many and are unique, such as the party on the water, the flight of the angel, the contest of the most beautiful mask. Unmissable events to discover all on the official website.
Carnival of Viareggio
Together with that of Venice it is the carnival best known and appreciated for its beautiful carts of paperweight that color the streets of the city. Young and old masked, they enjoy this unique show and to check that everything is fine, there is of course Burlamacco,the official mask of Viareggio.
Cento Carnival
The Grand Carnival of Europe is in Cento and is twinned with the Rio de Janeiro Carnival. Very well-known faces of our TV love it and here too the program is truly gigantic: parades, concerts by great artists, breathtaking wagons and fireworks shows.
Carnival of Ivrea
Perhaps one of the funniest and most unique: the battle of Oranges that are thrown from the wagons is highly anticipated. The battle has very ancient and legendary origins: it seems that this battle today fun, had actually been a rebellion by a tire.
Carnival of Acireale
beautiful, the most beautiful in Sicily; among the streets, beautiful paper-and-mâché masks parade, wagons full of flowers and the gang. An unmissable event that tastes of tradition and joy.
Mamoiada Carnival
We are on the other great island of our Italy, the Wonderful Sardinia and during this Carnival traditional Sardinian masks such as Mamuthones and the Issohadores parade in a solemn and sacred procession.
Maiori Carnival
As for Campania, on the other hand, we have the great Carnival of Maiori, which in the heart of the Amalfi coast, parades its beautiful wagons ofpesta masks and involves all the inhabited centers of the area. Don’t forget to look closely at the clothes and masks that are truly beautiful and precious.
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]These are obviously just some of the events scheduled for carnival in Italy but if you know other unmissable parties report it to us in the comments then choose your mask and leave immediately. Discover once again how much beauty and tradition exists in our beautiful Italy.Carnival of Putignano
the most famous Carnival in Puglia, also has a wonderful program of events for this year. There is, of course, the competition of wagons and above all the official Apulian mask Farinella.
Not to be missed this year is Heroes, an exhibition of illustration of heroes… nothing else is talked about on the web!
