Ispica Carnival

The 2025 Ispica Carnival, which took place from February 27 to March 4, centered on the theme "Time between Memory and Tradition." The festival was inaugurated on Friday, February 28, at Palazzo Bruno with the children's costume parade. Three allegorical floats created by Rosolini-based master artisan Gianluigi Pitrolo paraded through the streets of Ispica: the first dedicated to the local territory and legends, featuring Moorish heads and architectural references like the Sinatra loggia and the Cava d'Ispica; the others inspired by Salvador Dalí's "The Persistence of Memory" and the joyful world of Carnival. Highlights included the big party on Corso Garibaldi with DJ sets by Gianni Agosta and Pepè Vox, and the live show in the square with Cristiano Di Stefano and Carmelo Caccamo.
