Edition 2025 — Italo-Scalettese Carnival
The 46th edition
In 2025, the Italo-Scalettese Grand Carnival celebrated its 46th edition, upholding a tradition that has united the towns of Itala and Scaletta Zanclea since the late 1970s. The program opened with Fat Thursday dedicated to the little ones, featuring the "In the Magical World of Masks" party organized by the Pro Loco of Itala.
On Saturday, March 1, the Mascherina d'Oro 2025 competition was held at the cultural center in Scaletta Zanclea, featuring Baby (0-5 years) and Junior (6-10 years) categories. The highlight took place on Sunday, March 2, with the parade of costumed groups along Via Roma, which started in Itala and continued toward Scaletta Zanclea until reaching Piazza Alcide De Gasperi, all animated by the Umbrillara comic band. It was a celebration of confetti, music, and color, deeply cherished by the community of the Ionian Riviera of Messina.
