About Perzacco Carnival
The Carnival of Perzacco
The Antico Carneval de Parsaco is the carnival of the hamlet of Perzacco, in Zevio in the province of Verona, and represents one of the most characteristic carnival traditions of the Veronese territory. A deeply rooted village festival, animated by the committee 'Antico Carneval de Parsaco' with the support of the municipal administration and local sponsors.
Commendator Lasagna and the Paiaso
The symbolic mask is Commendator Lasagna, a historical figure who leads the procession in his traditional blue and gold attire. The carnival opens with the exhibition of the Paiaso in the square and continues with a photographic exhibition at the Circolo Noi, which gathers historical and recent photos, flyers, and posters created over the years, enriched by the works of kindergarten children and young people from Ceod.

The highlight is the grand Fat Tuesday parade, opened by the 'E. e O. Tognetti' band, with allegorical floats and masks from all over the Veronese province. An event that attracts the village and visitors every year, keeping alive one of the most beloved popular traditions of the Veronese area.
