CARNIVAL MASSAFRA

Carnival Massafra, is one of the most important and festive carnivals of Puglia, in the province of Taranto. Parades of floats are only two, Sunday and Shrove Tuesday, but the fun is guaranteed. In fact, all participants are party with the masked groups because they lack the barriers, all ends with the funeral of King Carnival, an ancient tradition that dates back to the early twentieth century.

Massafra is a town of less than 33,000 inhabitants. here's what he wrote Pier Paolo Pasolini:
"Beyond the bridge is the center of the city, a busy square, towards evening, as in a day of celebration. It is a crowd of men dressed in black and boys designed with diamond and coal. Around this square tangle, as viscera, the alleyways and steep streets, through which we regress into the heart of time. The pure Middle Ages, around. You push down down and gets to the walls of a fort, or Swabian Norman pointed as a spur to where the abyss of Massafra opens on the endless plain. »
