Carnival in Scampia, Naples
The GRIDAS (Gruppo Risveglio dal Sonno), founded by Felice Pignataro, has been organizing the neighborhood carnival in Scampia, on the outskirts of Naples, since 1983.
It is an incredible, high-energy experience and ranks among the most vibrant and beautiful carnivals in Italy.
This grassroots event brings together associations, schools, and individual citizens, creating a celebration that has over time become the most representative carnival in the city of Naples.
Every year, themed masks and allegorical figures are created as tools to denounce global injustices.
The event attracts thousands of people from all over Italy, who join the parade accompanied by the infectious rhythm of the Argentinian Murga.
