Shrove Tuesday In Ruvo Di Puglia
The puppet Mba Biose burns after his death on Shrove Tuesday in Ruvo di Puglia, Italy, on March 4, 2025. Ruvo di Puglia celebrates the conclusion of Carnival with the rite of ''E murta Mba Biose,'' an event that involves the entire town in a final farewell to the mask that symbolizes the festival. The day begins with the announcement of his death and the setting up of the funeral chamber in Matteotti Square, where onlookers and townspeople gather to pay their respects to the deceased, amid grotesque laments and witty banter. In the afternoon, the funeral procession marches through the streets of the town, with the participation of the ''family'' of the deceased, the figure of the ''Quarantana,'' and the Lower Band of the Basilio Giandonato Association (Photo by Davide Pischettola/NurPhoto).
