Modena Carnival - Fat Thursday and Sandrone's Speech

The 2025 edition of the Modena Carnival celebrated Fat Thursday on February 27, with the usual heart in Piazza Grande, in the historic center of the Municipality of Modena.

The Pavironica Family - Sandrone, Pulonia, and Sgorghiguelo - arrived at the Modena station in Piazzale Dante around 2 PM and set off in a carriage, followed by the parade of guest masks from other cities. The route passed through via Galvani, viale Monte Kosica, corso Vittorio Emanuele, Piazza Roma, via Farini, via Emilia centro, corso Canalgrande, corso Canalchiaro, and corso Duomo, ending at the Town Hall.

At 4:00 PM, the Pavironica Family's speech took place from the balcony of the Palazzo Comunale, followed at 4:40 PM by the greeting to the Mayor. The speech, one of the most anticipated moments, addressed the most significant issues for the community with irony and social critique.
