The Gridas will organize the Scampia Carnival 2017, an event that has entered the history of the neighborhood.

Il 26 February 2017 we will celebrate the Carnival of Scampia, an event organized by Gridas, in which the local associations, schools and individuals participate. It is one of the events of the Carnival in Naples.

The theme of the 35ª edition is "Equi-books between equilibrists and balancing", A play on words aimed at cultural production, which has had the right balance to tell the reality of these places, underlining how the degradation and abandonment have originated from much more complex problems and wrong choices both in the social and environmental.

Over the years, Gridas has become a reference model for other companies in Naples. The carnival of Scampia has entered into history and has become a popular event and wanted by the inhabitants of the neighborhood who manage to organize a big party at no cost rejoiced by the music of popular bands. Anyone can participate, express their ideas and help build the allegorical wagons, clothes and masks that will be parade the day of the parade.

At the end of the day the party will be turned on allegorical bonfire, an ancient rite linked to the traditions of the country, during which old things will be burned to make something new emerge from the ashes. The Gridas, with this event, sets several objectives and manages to center them all, but let's see in detail what it is.

Objectives of the Scampia Carnival

  • Gathering the inhabitants of the neighborhood to keep a popular tradition alive.
  • Involve schools to create something to exhibit during the parade, emphasizing that in schools, in addition to the intellect, manual skills are also needed.
  • Take cues from current issues to create masks that denounce these situations.
  • Teaching respect for the environment through the use of recycled material to create the elements to be exhibited in the parade.
  • Establish a relationship between the territory and the school.
