CarnevalediSan Pietro in Casale

Carnevale di San Pietro in Casale is the organization behind the historic carnival of San Pietro in Casale, near Bologna, Italy. The celebration has continued since 1871 and is associated with the local Sandròn Spaviròn society and the Association Cranvel ed San Pir in Casel, with the patronage of the municipality. Its program centers on colorful allegorical floats, masked processions, and festivities held on the two Sundays before Shrove Tuesday.

Visitors can also enjoy dancing in the town square, performances for children, a prize lottery, and local food and wine. A distinctive tradition is the reading of Sandròn’s will, a humorous account that satirizes local people and events, followed by the burning of the carnival figure. The organization shares event information, including programs for the main carnival and children’s celebrations, and provides a gallery of photographs and videos documenting past editions.

The festivities take place in the center of San Pietro in Casale, bringing together local traditions, entertainment, and community celebration
