The traditional Spoleto Carnival reaches its 190th edition. The two Carnival parades are scheduled for Sunday 4 and Sunday 11 February, 2018. The special sledge of Santa Claus, made on the occasion of the filming of Don Matteo 11, will open both parades.

As usual, the allegorical floats created by the various quarters and villages will parade through downtown Spoleto on the first Sunday, and through the city’s outskirts in the second one, flanked by masks, folk and musical groups.

From 3 to 13 February, an exhibition – set up at Ex-Monte di Pietà, Via Saffi – will retrace the last 40 years of Spoleto Carnival thanks to various materials, posters, paintings, but also pieces of old carriages. The opening ceremony is scheduled to be held on February 3 at 12.00. Opening times: 10.00-14.30 / 16.00-18.00
