CARNIVAL OF VIAREGGIO: Known for its spectacular allegorical floats, which often depict political figures and celebrities.

CARNIVAL OF PUTIGNANO: Considered the oldest carnival in Italy, featuring parades of allegorical floats, street performances, and parties.

CARNIVAL OF ACIREALE: Famous for its elaborate allegorical floats, mask parades, and traditional dances.

CARNIVAL OF VENICE: The most famous carnival in the world, known for its beautiful costumes and intricate masks.

CARNIVAL OF IVREA: Famous for its traditional orange-throwing battle.
