Viareggio
La Cittadella del Carnevale di Viareggio - Via Santa Maria Goretti
If you miss out on the four weeks during which Viareggio is an explosion of colors, masks, and carnival floats, you may make up for it by visiting the Cittadella del Carnevale (carnival citadel).
As well as hosting the Museo del Carnevale (carnival museum) and areas for educational workshops, the structure – so important it also stays lit at night – includes 16 warehouses around a central area, each with an enormous door from which the floats exit and head to the parade.
This is the very place – created following the advice of the float-makers who once operated in different parts of the city – where the most famous and funniest carnival floats in Italy are born.
