Edition 2025 — Gli amici di Balanzone
In February 2025, Ponte Ronca, a hamlet of Zola Predosa, celebrated its Carnival dedicated to Balanzone, the symbolic mask of Bologna, with masked parades, entertainment, and festive moments for families. A local tradition that brings together masks and friends from the community around the figure of the Bolognese doctor, in an atmosphere of shared joy for young and old.
The Carnival of Ponte Ronca, in Zola Predosa (BO), has been a cherished community event for years, built around the connection with Balanzone, the mask of Bolognese tradition.
The 2025 edition featured masked parades, entertainment for the little ones, and convivial moments at the Ilaria Alpi Sociocultural Centre, confirming the festival's role as an occasion for community gathering and the promotion of Italian popular masks.
