About Re Ambrognaga

The Re Ambrognaga Carnival is one of the traditional carnival parades in Montichiari, in the Bassa Bresciana region. On a Sunday in early spring, the streets fill with colours, music, and masks for the parade that starts from the Ex Marzotto car park and crosses the town. It is a popular neighbourhood festival, designed for families and rooted in the tradition of the Carnival of the Brescia area, which in Montichiari has several events between February and March.

The Re Ambrognaga Carnival

Among the various carnival parades that liven up Montichiari, in the Province of Brescia, the Re Ambrognaga Carnival is the one that ideally closes the Montichiari Carnival season. The mask of Re Ambrognaga gives its name to a popular festival that brings colours, music, and lots of joy to the streets on a Sunday in early spring.

The Parade

The gathering and start take place from the Ex Marzotto car park, from where the procession of masked groups sets off to cross the town's streets. It is a parade with a village feel, where local associations and groups, who prepare costumes and choreography in the preceding months, are the protagonists.

A Festival for Families

Like all carnival events in Montichiari, Re Ambrognaga is also designed primarily for families: an afternoon of outdoor celebration, with music and masks, that brings the Montichiari community together. In case of bad weather, the event is postponed to the reserve date, confirming how much the tradition is felt by organisers and participants.
