CARNIVAL IN BOSA

Carnival tells us the history of the Sardinian communities and sometimes makes us unexpected actors in a magical and joyful theatrical experience
Let’s go along the streets of karrasegare to see Bosa decorated for the festival, it is more beautiful than ever.

  • THE MASKS 
    the black masks sing a dirge for the dying Gioldzi. The white masks are fire-flies, happy spirits wandering in the night…
  • THE SCENE 
    wooden phallic symbols, satire, hired female mourners …
  • ORIGINS AND MEANINGS  
    laughter, gluutony and most of all anything symbolizing fertility and sexual desire
  • POINTS OF INTEREST
