( Italian Version) Carnevale comincia il giorno di Sant' Antonio Abate. Un proverbio lucano, infatti, recita "a Sant'Antuon maschere e suon" il primo segnale dell'arrivo della festa pi? colorata e divertente dell'anno ? dato dal fuoco. In quasi tutti i centri lucani il Santo dei maiali, delle mucche, delle pecore e di tutti gli animali domestici viene ricordato con l'accensione di grandi fal?. I fuochi vengono accesi nelle piazze principali e soprattutto davanti alle chiese perch? vengono benedetti dal parroco.

The idea of organising a parade of floats to celebrate Carnival outdoors, all together along the streets, developed from some youths of the well-to-do society in February 1873 in the Caf? del Casino. Later this original event, which took place on the Sunday and Shrove Tuesday of February 1873, ripened in the Carnival of Viareggio, as it is known today; one of the most beautiful and magnificent spectacular events of the world.

In English - updated version with fotos "The carnival festivities have strong roots in the Opatija region. Their origin is from the time when the key persons were the Zvon?ari, people who, at the beginning of February, dressed in skins of wild animal, wore colourful hats and had cowbells tied to their body. they would go out in the forests in groups to scare out the turkish soldiers, which dates the events to somewhere about 1511, when the last battle took place in this territory."
