Edition 2025 — Cinisi Carnival

The 2025 edition of the Cinisi Carnival renewed its most beloved rituals: from the arrival of 'Lu Nannu' on Shrove Thursday, with the participation of storyteller Salvo Piparo, to the reading of the Will on Shrove Tuesday. Among the novelties was the creation of the Nannu float and, on the stage of Piazza Vittorio Emanuele Orlando, the concert by BigMama on Monday, March 3. The allegorical float parades, the historical pageant, and 'u Matrimoniu' were confirmed, with free admission.

The 2025 Cinisi Carnival took place between late February and early March, re-proposing the parades of papier-mâché allegorical floats, costumed groups, and school floats along Corso Umberto I. The Municipality of Cinisi, in the province of Palermo, confirmed the traditional rituals of the festival.

The event opened on Shrove Thursday with the grand inaugural parade and the arrival of 'Lu Nannu', accompanied by storyteller Salvo Piparo. Central moments included the historical pageant and 'u Matrimoniu' on Monday, leading up to the Shrove Tuesday closing with the reading of the Nannu's Will.

On the musical front, the Piazza Vittorio Emanuele Orlando stage hosted the concert by BigMama on Monday, March 3. Admission to all events was free.
