Edition 2025 — Corleone Carnival

The 2025 edition of the Corleone Carnival, U Riavulicchiu, took place during the carnival period at the end of February. The historic center hosted parades of papier-mâché floats, masked groups, and the riavulicchi, the historic carnival on horseback with knights and flag-wavers, the Neighborhood Trophy for the best float, and the final ritual of burning the nannu, preceded by the reading of his testament.

The 2025 edition of the Corleone Carnival confirmed the vitality of one of the most beloved festivals in the Palermo hinterland. The historic center saw a succession of parades of papier-mâché floats and masked groups, enlivened by the marching band and the devilish figures of the riavulicchi.

Highlights included the historic carnival on horseback with knights, musicians, and drummers, the awarding of the Neighborhood Trophy to the best float, and the conclusion with a masquerade ball in the square, the reading of the nannu's testament, and his burning along with the nanna.
