Acireale: Sicily’s most spectacular carnival<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Start your weekend in Acireale<\/b><\/a>, in the province of Catania, where one of Italy’s oldest and most spectacular carnivals takes place.<\/p>\n

Stroll through the streets of the Baroque old town, brought to life by allegorical papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9 floats, parades of colorful masks, and flower-covered floats<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The atmosphere is electric, with shows, live music, and food stands offering local specialties such as rice zeppole<\/strong><\/a>, chiacchiere<\/strong>, and cannoli<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Don’t miss a visit to the Cathedral and Piazza Duomo, the beating heart of the festival.<\/p>\n

Sciacca: the oldest Carnival in Sicily<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Continue on to Sciacca<\/b><\/a>, in the province of Agrigento, where one of the island’s oldest and most heartfelt Carnivals is celebrated.<\/p>\n

The star of the show is Peppe Nappa<\/strong>, the historic local mask that opens and closes the festival with fireworks and bonfires.<\/p>\n

Handcrafted allegorical floats<\/strong> parade<\/strong> through the streets with satire and irony, while marching bands enliven the entire city.<\/p>\n

Try the carnival sfince<\/strong><\/a> and cassatella saccense<\/strong> in one of the many pastry shops in the center.<\/p>\n

Termini Imerese: historical parades and winter flavors<\/strong><\/h3>\n

End your trip in Termini Imerese<\/strong><\/a>, where one of Sicily’s longest-running historical carnivals<\/strong> (since the 17th century) is celebrated.<\/p>\n

The iconic masks of Nanno and Nanna,<\/strong> symbols of the local carnival, open the parade of floats and masked groups along the streets of the center.<\/p>\n

The highlight is the bonfire of Nanno<\/strong>, a symbolic ritual that marks the end of Carnival.<\/p>\n

Stop at the bars and restaurants in the center to enjoy winter dishes such as pasta with broccoli<\/a> arriminati and sfince di San Giuseppe<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":104470,"template":"","categories":[1935],"luogo":[2126,3134,3013],"stagione":[1876],"class_list":["post-104510","itinerario","type-itinerario","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tradizioni-en","luogo-acireale","luogo-sciacca","luogo-termini-imerese-palermo","stagione-winter"],"acf":{"sottotitolo":"Three days of fashion shows, folk rituals, and culinary specialties","titolo_paragrafo_1":"Winter holidays","paragrafo_1":"
