Lucca in Masquerade

From February 8, the big masks arrive in the squares of Lucca: the Gorilla made by the Cinquini brothers, one of the most gigantic representations in the history of Carnival, The Skull Parade, ten skulls made by international artists, including the artisans of Cittadella.

  CarnevalFratta is back, the famous ‘masked’ event that has animated the ‘Bastardo’ district, the ‘Fratta’ area and the ‘Borghi di Levante’ since the end of the 1970s and has soon become the Carnival of Lucca, a cultural and artistic moment of great appeal, in the squares and in the city throughout the year with workshops for masks and the creation of floats.
