Carnival at Villa Carlotta

This year, in a move towards sustainability, Villa Carlotta invites young guests to ditch traditional confetti for seed-filled creations. During the event, the little masked participants will play with “seed bombs” – a green solution encapsulated in a hands-on workshop. Armed with seeds, each child becomes a true nature superhero, fostering a deeper connection with the environment.

This grand celebration welcomes everyone – from the whimsical fairies and mysterious Wednesday Addams to the radiant princesses, energetic PJ Mask heroes, brave Harry Potter wizards, and fierce pirates. Parents and grandparents are also invited to partake in this delightful affair. Don’t forget to don your masks – the magic awaits!

Cost: €10 per child (accompanying adults €5 – mandatory for 5-year-olds)

Join Truciolo in a Brianza workshop as he attempts to build a wardrobe commissioned by the famous Arlecchino. Amidst comic mishaps, Truciolo encounters the iconic characters of Commedia dell’Arte.
