Il Carnevale d'Abruzzo ITALY


The 58th edition of Carnevale d'Abruzzo was held on 10th of  February 2013


At the parade partecipate  wagons carried out by experienced masters of paper pulp... and 
also folk groups, music bands, dancers, and the general public, especially children, dressed in costume.






Emblem of the carnival is Patanello. It is said that the mask is inspired by a cobbler "zi 'patane" lived between the late 800 and early 900 in this  beautiful city of Abruzzo.

He was an eccentric and charismatic character, who loved party and wine.  Re Patanello still opens the procession followed by all the other floats and masks by the different groups.











... and everywhere sweets and hot sandwiches
