About Carnevale A spasso nel tempo

In Modigliana, in the heart of the Forlì hills, Carnevale A spasso nel tempo transforms the Covered Market in Piazza Don Minzoni into a time machine for an afternoon. Organized by the Parents' Committee, the event invites children, teens, and families on a masked journey through the ages: from Prehistory to Ancient Egypt, from the Middle Ages to the future. With games, imagination, and creativity, it's a different kind of Carnival, designed for togetherness and fun without leaving town.

A Carnival That Travels Through the Ages

In the village of Modigliana, in the Province of Forlì-Cesena and in the heart of the Tuscan-Romagnol Apennines of Emilia-Romagna, Carnevale A spasso nel tempo offers an original and unconventional approach. No traditional parade of floats here: this Carnival becomes an authentic journey through time, where masked participants can ideally wander through Prehistory, the charm of Ancient Egyptians, the atmosphere of the Middle Ages, and a glimpse into the future.

A Party Designed for Families

The event is organized by the Parents' Committee of Modigliana, which has been enlivening the town's social fabric for years with initiatives dedicated to children. The goal is clear: to offer children, teens, and families an afternoon of celebration that combines play, imagination, and sharing, in a space where children's creativity and adults' imagination find the same freedom of expression.

The Covered Market as a Stage

The heart of the event is the Covered Market in Piazza Don Minzoni, in the historic center of Modigliana. The covered space allows the celebration to take place protected from the uncertainties of winter weather, ensuring a welcoming venue for workshops, entertainment, and shows. The choice of an indoor location confirms the Modigliana Carnival's purpose: a community event, child-friendly, where togetherness is more important than spectacle.

Tradition and Community

In a town like Modigliana, far from the major tourist attractions of the Romagna coast, Carnival represents an important moment of gathering. It demonstrates how small inland communities can reinvent traditional calendar festivities, giving them a creative and inclusive twist. A spasso nel tempo is now one of the most anticipated events of the Modigliana winter for local families.
