Treviso and Conegliano: the magic of Carnival will experience one of its most anticipated moments on Shrove Tuesday. The parade of papier-mâché giants will stop tomorrow afternoon in Treviso and Conegliano for two classic events of the craziest party of the year.
TREVISO – In the capital, the afternoon of Shrove Tuesday, thanks to the announced good weather, is expected to see a crowd of great occasions. The parade, starting around 2 pm from the Cathedral and with commentary by Nicolò Dalla Gasperina, will include 23 floats and masked groups and will be opened by the Treviso Folklore Group with the traditional King Carnival. Following, the Friends of Vintage Tractors of the Marca (theme: “The Tree of Wooden Clogs”), the group “Viva el paron dei peri” of Casella d’Asolo (“We are left in our underwear”), Le Sisters (“Hell or Heaven”), the parish group of Bocca di Strada and Santa Maria (“Disney 100+1”), the Energia in movimento dance school (“Grease-Brillantina”), the Youth group of San Giuseppe of Treviso (“Let’s go and color”), the Simpatia group of Musestre (“Italian Justice”), the cultural association “Yo Soy Dominicano Aquí y Allá” of the Dominican Republic (“Homage to the Dominican Merenghe”), the Friends of Ponte Crepaldo of Eraclea (“Not all experiments succeed with the hole”), the Contrada Santa Lucia of Castagnole (“Dutch Joy”), the Friends of the Carnival of Falzè (“The Pirates of the Carnival”), the Quei de Soligo Group (“Peter Pan and the crew of Soligo”), the Selva Carnival Committee (“The Court of King Carnival”), the CarnevaleInsieme Group of Signoressa (“Paw Patrol”), the Allegra Compagnia of Porcellengo (“Sushi in saor”), the Friends of Merlengo (“Rebellion at Court”), the 80s Kids of Lovadina (“The Rainbow Dragon and the Village of Clouds”), the Coriandolando group for Pieve di Soligo (“The Jungle Book”), the Allegria group of Maserada (“Let’s Season Together”), the San Giacomo Youth Group of Sala (“The Addams Family), the Colombere Committee of Cusignana (“Journey to the East”) and the Friends of Isiata (“The Spectacle of Nature”).

While in the group of the cultural association “Yo Soy Dominicano Aquí y Allá” the actor Miguel Gobbo Diaz will also parade, one of the protagonists together with Claudio Amendola of the Rai 1 fiction “Nero a metà” and the Netflix series “Zero”.
The route of the floats, this year, will be reversed compared to usual: after the departure from Piazza Duomo, the parade will go down via Canova, pass through Borgo Cavour and will run along the city walls until arriving in Piazzale Burchiellati. A journey of a kilometer and a half that promises to become a riot of music and masks, confetti and streamers. In Piazzale Burchiellati there will also be a quality jury. Presiding over it, the master of art Marco Varisco who will bring on stage the trophies he designed to reward the best float and the best choreography. The other members of the jury are: Tiziano Pasquali (Benetton Rugby), Matteo Guidolin (Los Massadores), Mauro Berti (Los Massadores), Emilio Vido (float artist), Alice De Ruos, Maurizio Criveller (sales director of the Vega Group), Carlo Giustini (marketing manager Nonno Andrea), Enrico De Bona (Milan-Cortina committee), Giuseppe Aliprandi (president of Pro Loco Sernaglia). Guests of the Israa facilities are also expected: more than one hundred elderly people from retirement homes will be able to enjoy the Carnival show from a stage located in Viale Burchiellati. The Treviso Carnival will be followed live by Antenna Tre.
