The Termini Imerese Carnival wouldn’t be the same without its colorful floats.
Behind every cart is a world of passion, art and ingenuity. Master artisans along with sculptors, electricians, and plasterers, shape clay and craft their creation, turning imagination and satire into striking works of art. The hands of the “Carnevalari“, skilled and precise, shape political and social figures, ironic caricatures that bring applause, laughter and amazement to adults and children alike. Every detail is taken care of: from the bright colors to the movements of the puppets, up to the last light that illuminates the parade, creating a show that enchants and entertains at the same time.
But Carnival is not just a show. It’s a collective ritual, a moment when the community comes together, where different generations mingle in the streets and share the joy of an event that is art, tradition, and satire in motion.
Every year, this ritual of creativity and passion is passed down: from teachers to their apprentices, from families supporting the work to young people discovering the art of papier-mâché. Thus, the magic of Carnival lives on, transforming Termini Imerese into a place where fantasy becomes reality.
