Carnevale begins in Italy in this little tiny town on the coast!
The pre-Lent tradition of Carnevale is celebrated all over Italy, and for five Sundays in a row through January and February the seaside town of VIAREGGIO attracts Italians of all ages for an enormous parade down its main promenade. Huge hilarious satirical papier-mâché floats— some of them consisting of platforms supporting hundreds of dancers— entertain costumed crowds of thousands. For schedules and information consult www.viareggio.ilcarnevale.com, and if the train is on strike, take a bus with LAZZI.
