I know I promised to show you the other floats at the Viareggio Carnevale, but it is taking me forever to sort and select the photos.
In the meantime, here are some of the fabulous faces and costumes of the people at the Carnevale. Some are participants in the float teams and others are part of the audience. There were far fewer in the audience than I usually see. The weather had been horrible and it was uncertain that the parade would go ahead.
The detail and time taken to dress is astounding.
Next time you will see the other floats.
Love the bags strapped across the red and white harlequins.

The lion was engaged in a deep conversation with his friend. I waited ages for him to turn around.
