Carnevale is an ancient celebration which has been passed down through the centuries. It is a celebration where people have a parties, eat, drink and have fun before the limitations and solemnity of Lent begins. It includes many weekends of popular theatre, creating and displaying traditional masks, confetti parades, and collective rituals. Many of the photos in the exhibit are from the famed regions of Sicily, including Taormina, Catania-Acireale area, Siracusa and Palermo, Italy.
