Carnival in Aliano
In Matera province, Sunday February 26 and Tuesday February 28 2017
The Carnival in Aliano is celebrated in 2 days, on Sunday February 26 and at the day of Mardi Gras, on Tuesday February 28 2017.
During this Carnival in the streets of Aliano, a small town of Basilicata classified among the “Authentic villages of Italy”, wander the so-called “cornute” Masks, goofy figures that evocate demonic creatures with colorful big hats, who walk in the village streets along the sound of accordions and cupa cupa, and so arising an improvised comedy called “Fras”,
During Aliano’s Carnival parades also masks of the neighbouring villages participate.
As any traditional feast, this is a great opportunity to taste some typical local food.
