The miniature floats
SALVATORE LI PIRA (Cat. A)
IL CARNEVALE DELLO STIVALE
The float celebrates the carnivals of Italy and their cultural importance as intangible heritage of our country. On the sides of the float, we find tributes to two Italian masks: Il Papà de Gnoco, symbol of the Carnival of Verona, and Peppe Nappa, of the Carnival of Sciacca.
At the center of the float is a large Venetian mask, representing the essence of the Carnival of Venice. At the front, the float pays homage to the Carnival of Viareggio with the main subject of the winning work of the last edition, "Va dove ti porta il cuore," which focuses on youth and their future. The choice of the subject reflects the hope that young people can be the future of this event.
Finally, at the back of the float, Lavika, symbol of the Carnival of Acireale, is depicted, framed in a floral context that symbolizes the peculiarity of the flower-decorated floats of Acireale. .webp)
