Carnival in Rome
Carnivale in Rome was a big deal a century ago, with parties, and races down the via del Corso. Now it's a low key affair, but it's still celebrated, with most activities aimed at the kids, who go to school in costume and throw confetti at each other.

A Carnival Village is set up in the Piazza del Popolo, and there are parades with street performers, allegorical floats, musicians, Lazio historical groups and opera house actors wearing traditional masks. This year's event begins February 26, and continues through March 6. Log in to www.InRomeNow.com. We'll keep you informed of events as they are announced.
