\"\"Have you ever experienced a carnival, Italian style? Well, I have been to the one in Viareggio and I would definitely go back!<\/p>\n

Even though\u00a0it is a small place, Viareggio is well known throughout Italy for its fantastic beaches\u00a0which attract lots of tourists every summer.<\/p>\n

However,\u00a0Viareggio isn’t known only as a place\u00a0for relaxation! It\u2019s also full of\u00a0fun, colours and tradition! Viareggio is famous for its carnival, which takes place in the\u00a0period preceding Easter.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Carnival of Viareggio dates back to the Middle Ages, and is taken very seriously by the \u2018viareggini\u2019, who work hard all year to build the best float!<\/p>\n

So my friends and I decided to put\u00a0on 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!<\/p>\n

During the day we admired the parade of huge colored floats, filled with people dancing and throwing confetti onto the\u00a0heads 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!<\/p>\n

At night we all joined the street parties, where people go really wild dancing the night away, and why not..enjoying one, two, three or even\u00a0four glasses of wine! It was just so great to be there, and in that crazy atmosphere our group of friends\u00a0grew in number as time passed by! A very efficient way to practise your Italian with the locals!<\/p>\n

Only the fireworks at the end of the night, with their beautiful colours in the sky reminded us it was time to go home! Alas, the carnival was over, but at least I was very pleased to have been!<\/p>\n

So\u2026if you want to learn Italian<\/a>, choose one of our courses in Viareggio during the carnival! You will study Italian during the day, and put a mask on at night to feel the crazy vibe! I don\u2019t think you can miss this chance .<\/p>\n
