On February Sunday 23rd and from March 2nd to 4th, 2025 (Mardi Gras), the small town of Aliano in Basilicata, is celebrating its Carnival.
Aliano is classified among the “Authentic villages of Italy” and its Carnival typical masks are the so-called “cornute” Masks, goofy figures that evocate demonic creatures with colorful big hats, who walk in the village along the sound of accordions and cupa cupa, and so arising an improvised comedy called “Fras”,
During Aliano’s Carnival also masks of the neighbouring villages participate in the parades
