February - time for Carnevale!

Yesterday we got the train to Viareggio at the seaside, to see their magnificent Carnival float procession.  We knew it would be magnificent - it has been the last five times we've seen it ...

Despite everyone appearing to be very happy - it was an angry parade - nothing was spared the ire of the designers - Italian politics, American politics, the environment, human rights ...

Renaissance costume, 21st century mirror shades - we always come across some strollers getting ready for the off ...

... a quick coffee and a smoke in the last five minutes

An arresting foat of terrifying hyenas recalling the horribleness of bullying

A modern take on the sirens of the Odyssey - with psychedelic jellyfish!

The Four horses of the Apocalypse canter by between the pizza and candy-floss stalls ..

Here come the animals - and they're not happy ...
