CARNEVALE A BASSANO


Carnival is a big deal here in Italy. They celebrate it a lot like Mardi Gras in New Orleans. There are parades and school is let out for at least part of the time. This is our neighbor Gabe. In this picture he is dressed like a Gormiti.


Here Gabe is dressed like one of the Three Muskeeters.















We went down town for the parade on Sunday afternoon. The following are just a few pictures of the parade.










I thought this family did a really good job on their costumes and on the vehicle.





Alan and I really enjoyed this float. This is the Italian version of a rodeo. It was pretty cute. Especially the fact that of all the people walking along side the float, the only one in the crowd wearing cowboy boots was Alan.
