CARNEVALE DI VIAREGGIO, FROM 4/02 TO 3/03

Carnevale di Viareggio is the most important and spectacular carnival in Tuscany and one of the most famous in Europe. On the sea avenues of the city parade the allegorical floats realized with papier maché and several masked groups. Since the 1970s, the dominant theme of the allegories has been the political satire, as well as fantastic themes and frivolous themes. Symbol of the Carnival of Viareggio is the characteristic mask "Burlamacco", conceived in 1931 by Uberto Sonetti.
The floats' parade is not the only attraction of that carnival: during the evening there are parties on the roads of the neighborhoods, with people in mask and music up to late night. There are also numerous "veglioni" organized in the clubs and pubs of the city and other different cultural and recreational events.
The inauguration is on February 4th, while the parades are on February 5th 12th, 19th, 21st, 26th and on March 3rd

LUCCA E LE MURA: ITINERARI DEL RISORGIMENTO 17/12/2011 - 17/03/2012

The show wants to analyse, through the study of some city monuments, the different phases of the Italian Risorgimento putting also in evidence the different way in which the inhabitants of Lucca perceived and interpreted the unitary message in the period between 1861 and the end of the Nineteenth century. It is an itinerary that brings us to the local environment and it develops between 1863 (with the erection of the statue of Francesco Burlamacchi) and 1897 (with the inauguration of Monumento ai Caduti in Piazza XX Settembre). While in Italy the most important issue was unification, Lucca also tried to preserve the cultural roots of the community, valorizing and acquiring all the elements of its identity: Lucca repurchased, in fact, its Mura, intangible icon for the whole community, restored today in modern key the façade of the church of St. Michael, recomposed the funeral monument of Ilaria del Carreto and revised the history of the unification of Italy creating a sort of didactic path through the town streets and monuments to destine to the future generations.
The show is distributed in different places: Casermetta del Baluardo San Colombano, Archivio Storico Comunale, the Archivio di Stato, Biblioteca Nazionale and Museo Nazionale di Palazzo mansi
