The Carnival parade of Lower Veronese in Villa Bartolomea
The Bortoloto Carnival is the Carnival festival of Villa Bartolomea, a municipality in Lower Veronese, in the province of Verona. The name recalls the local mask, Bortoloto, a symbol of the community. The event, organized by the Pro Loco Villa Bartolomea, boasts a multi-decade tradition and is included in the official calendar of the carnival committees of the province of Verona.
The heart of the festival is the parade of allegorical floats and masked groups that winds through the town's streets. Confetti, music, and entertainment accompany the procession, in an atmosphere designed to engage children, teenagers, and adults. The festival combines the creativity of the float builders with the participation of local associations and groups.
