Edition 2025 — Zoomorphic Masks Carnival

In 2025, the European Carnival of Zoomorphic Masks once again brought the most archaic carnival traditions from Europe to Isernia, featuring a masked procession, an anthropological conference, and screenings, consolidating the city's status as the capital of zoomorphic masks.

The European Carnival of Zoomorphic Masks in Isernia is an event created to celebrate animal masks from European and Mediterranean traditions. In its early editions, the festival combined the grand procession of masked groups with the scientific work of an anthropological conference and film screenings, making the capital of Molise an international meeting point for scholars and bearers of archaic carnival traditions.

Programme

The specific list of groups and times for the 2025 edition is not precisely documented here. The event followed the usual structure: anthropological conference, screenings, exhibition, and a grand masked procession through the historic center.
