Edition 2025 — Dead Carnival of Apecchio

In 2025, Apecchio also celebrated its Carnival with parades, masks, and the rite of the Dead Carnival. The evening featured a parade of allegorical floats starting at 9:00 PM along the village streets, with the staging of the Dead Carnival, followed by music and dancing at the middle school gym from 10:30 PM. In the afternoon, there was also a Carnival party dedicated to families and children.

The 2025 edition of the Carnival of Apecchio confirmed the vitality of this tradition in the upper Marche Apennines. Along the streets of the village's historic center, in the province of Pesaro and Urbino, the parade of allegorical floats took place starting at 9:00 PM, with the staging of the Dead Carnival. The evening continued with music and dancing at the middle school gym, from 10:30 PM.

There was also space for families, with a Carnival party dedicated to the youngest children organized in the afternoon at the middle school gym. The event, managed by the Pro Loco of Apecchio, renewed the archaic rite of burning the effigy, which symbolically concludes the festivities.
