📍 Carnevale di Putignano 2024🎭

The Putignano Carnival is the best known of Southern Italy but also the oldest in Europe. Its first edition dates back to 1394. The Putignano Carnival is one of the longest in duration. It starts on December 26 with the Propaggini event. It recalls the arrival in Putignano of the relics of Santo Stefano from the abbey of Monopoli. On this day, the Putignanesi perform in theatricals in the vernacular, accusing and mocking local authorities about the problems of the country that have remained unresolved.
Then there are the carnival Thursdays, there are seven of them and they are counted starting from January 17 (Feast of Sant'Antonio Abate). Every Thursday is dedicated to every category of the Putignano population, which is called to celebrate the carnival, so we have Thursday: Monsignori, priests, nuns, widows and widows, Pazzi (single boys), married women, of the Cornuti (married men).
The most important is that of the Cornuti, as it reminds the population that the carnival is about to end. During the horned Thursday, the "Accademia delle Corna" elects the "Great Horned of the Year" among the leading members of the population. The carnival ends on Shrove Tuesday, with the last evening parade and the carnival funeral. Famous are the papier-mâché giants, generically called "allegorical carts"; they parade during the four carnival parades, generally held on a Sunday, except on Shrove Tuesday.
