A carnival float at Viareggio Carnival (carnevale di Viareggio). Viareggio Carnival, celebrating in 2013 140 years of life and it is one of the best known events in Italy. Viareggio Carnival, attracts every year more than ONE MILLION spectators gathering to attend the magic of the great parades of big floats in papier-maché. Viareggio Carnival’s peculiarity consists in giant, allegorical papier-maché floats - the biggest ones weighing about forty tons each. The allegorical papier-maché floats are the product of the unequalled creativity. The parades take place in a ring-like circuit 2 km. long, on the seaside avenues of Viareggio. Here the floats move among the spectators, who can attend the show with no barriers, becoming in turn the protagonists of the parade.
