Carnival season 2019

[Hilldl]

I know it is early to be asking, but does anyone know when special carnival celebrations occur? Maybe some more information on what to take in would also be nice.
Thanks

Buongiorno,

OMGoodness, is it a bit early! The Italians are still trying plan their summer vacations

In any case, these two articles may give you a bit more info on what it is all about here in Tuscany, especially the famous display in Viareggio:
