Activities in Mamoiada, Sardinia

Carnival parades, from January to February, are not to be missed although it is unlikely they will meet your expectations. It fully recalls the agro-pastoral heritage with scaring parades featuring ancestral relationship between man and nature and the uninterrupted cycle of life and death.

Horrid masks of still unknown origin but clearly representing oxen, sheep and goats, like Issocadores parade in a tiresome allegoric dance succumbing to men's power.
