Italia Unita Carnevale
Whether you call it Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday it will no doubt be a celebration for which Italians call it CARNEVALE! This tradition has long been celebrated throughout Italy where the streets come alive with costumes, masks and masquerade balls.
Join Italia Unita on Sunday, February 19, 2012 from 3PM to 6PM at Zumix Firehouse, 260 Sumner Street, East Boston for our version of “Carnevale”!

The event will consist of skits, jokes, masquerade and fun!
Italia Unita Youth Artistic leader Pascal Gangi will have on display paper mache art, while an ongoing slide show of “Carnevale” around Italy will be highlighted throughout the day. You may dress up or put on a complimentary mask at the event while Italia Unita’s artistic group entertains you. If you feel like putting on your dancing shoes, you can join in on the fun!
Bring your sweet tooth because we are serving traditional Carnvevale desserts such as Pignolata (a Sicilian specialty) and Chiacchiere literally translates into “chatter”, “chit-chat”, or “gossip”, but in this context it is a strip of sweet pastry dough fried and coated with powdered sugar.
So bring your masks or dress up in Carnevale mode for an afternoon of fun and Italian culture. For ticket information please call 617-561-3201. Admission is $10.00.
