Even the carnival of Striano is in the top 10 of the most beautiful carnivals in Italy.
The peculiarity of this carnival are the floats, because they represent majestic masks 15 meters high.

The festivities will be held on February 18, 19 and 21, with the participation of Histriano, the official mask, which after a long time, finally returns to parade through the streets of the municipality.
