Estense Carnival

The third edition of the Estense Carnival enlivened the historic centre of Ferrara on March 15 and 16, 2025, from 9:30 AM to 7:30 PM, between Piazza Trento e Trieste, Corso Martiri della Libertà, and Piazza Savonarola. The event, organized by Pro Loco Ferrara, featured two parades of Italian anthropological masks instead of just one: one at 11:00 AM and another at 3:30 PM, both starting from Piazza Savonarola, with particular emphasis on the Ferrara mask Lasagnin Mezazarvela.

Alongside the masked parades, the 2025 edition offered a large food and wine fair of typical products and Carnival sweets, puppet shows, conferences, and guided tours, confirming itself as a major cultural and tourist event for the city of the Este family.
