The Carnival of Palazzolo Acreide

One of the Italian regions that lives intensely the Carnival is Sicily. Right here there is one of the oldest carnivals, the Carnival of Palazzolo Acreide, in the province of Syracuse. This festival is not only the time to watch the various shows, but also an opportunity to taste some local products made specifically for this event.

One of the most important components of the event is represented by floats. The preparation is meticulous, and it lasts almost all year. One can say that the experts they rest only during the Carnival week.

The floats are constructed entirely from local cartapestai, and over time they have become increasingly sophisticated; in fact they were introduced mechanisms that generate the movements, sound and light. It can then imagine that each edition of the carnival brings a nice atmosphere of expectation that drives many from Sicily and elsewhere to plan at least one day of stay in this beautiful city.
