The Satriano Carnival

Men and women play music and dance traditional dances before the festival in Satriano di Lucania, Italy, on February 15, 2026. The Satriano Carnival is an ancient folk festival that takes place on the Saturday and Sunday before Shrove Tuesday and is considered the most characteristic, evocative, and mysterious in Basilicata. The uniqueness of this carnival ritual lies in the presence of three typical masks that parade through the streets of the town: Rumita, Urs, and Quaresima. It is considered one of the last arboreal and ancestral rituals to survive in their entirety. (Photo by Davide Pischettola/NurPhoto)
