Carnival and the Monday of Masks
Choosing Bolsena for the Monday of Masks means experiencing the happiest day of the week.
Our Carnival is a deeply rooted, vibrant and widely shared tradition, a moment when the city’s history meets the unrestrained joy of popular celebration. Yet there is one detail that makes the Bolsena Carnival truly unique within the Tuscia and the surrounding areas: our Monday of Masks.
While elsewhere the celebrations pause in anticipation of the grand finale on Shrove Tuesday, in Bolsena Monday becomes the beating heart of the festivities.
It is a tradition carefully preserved, one that sets Bolsena apart from the entire surrounding region.
Monday is the moment when the creativity of the people of Bolsena reaches its peak, in an explosion of colour, music and irony like no other.
