The history of the Saviano Carnival
The Savianese Carnival, with roots in 1979, evolved from a one-man event allegorical chariot in Sant'Erasmo at an important cultural event. In the 1980, new floats are added, such as "Il Mondo" and "Pulcinella", which parade uncoordinated in the historic center. 1981 sees the emergence of floats such as “The Pope” and “Carnaval do Brasil”, increasing the carnival joy.
Il 1982 marks a significant evolution under the leadership of Pro Loco and Prof. Donato Allocca, making the Carnival an institutional event. Every year, new floats and shows enrich the event, such as the "Quadrille" in 1983 and seven chariots in the 1984. The event involves schools and associations, expanding its cultural reach.
As the years went by, the Savianese Carnival becomes more and more popular, despite a hiatus in 1991 due to the Gulf War. In the 2000, the Carnival reaches 13 floats, with a significant increase in the public and activities. Its fame extends far beyond the region, establishing itself as one of the most renowned carnivals in the Region, thanks to local craftsmanship and community commitment.
