A day at the Viareggio Carnival!
Have you ever experienced a carnival, Italian style? Well, I have been to the one in Viareggio and I would definitely go back!
Even though it is a small place, Viareggio is well known throughout Italy for its fantastic beaches which attract lots of tourists every summer.
However, Viareggio isn't known only as a place for relaxation! It's also full of fun, colours and tradition! Viareggio is famous for its carnival, which takes place in the period preceding Easter.
The Carnival of Viareggio dates back to the Middle Ages, and is taken very seriously by the 'viareggini', who work hard all year to build the best float!
So my friends and I decided to put on fancy dress and spend the whole last day of the carnival in Viareggio...time went by so quickly! The streets were so packed with people wearing some of the most incredible outfits, some of them very extravagant and funny!
During the day we admired the parade of huge colored floats, filled with people dancing and throwing confetti onto the heads of the crowds below! In that happy atmosphere, where everybody wants to have fun, it is very easy to relax, talk to people, take silly pictures and play practical jokes on strangers!
