As a follow-up of the Comenius meeting in Guadeloupe we have started this blog. We are part of a large “Comenius Family” whose members are Policka in Czech Republic, Neustadt in Germany, Bergen in Norway, Mikkeli in Finland, Tanum in Sweden, Pointe Noire in Guadaloupe-France, and our sister town, Salerno in Italy. The The main aim of this project is to really make our students part of a European Classroom through the use ICT-tools. In this way borders and distances disappear and communication becomes easier and more immediate. This blog is a new challenge and we are ready for it.

Carnival in Muggia

Carnival is felt very much in Muggia, the little town near Triest where I live. It has a secular tradition, always supported by the city Authorities. In fact, already in 1420, the "associations" -now called "Carnival Companies"- were financed with one ducat on condition the they spend at least the triple for the musicians. The official opening of every edition of our carnival is the "VEGETABLE DANCE" where people dressed up like vegetables dance at the sound of the local band. Then the Companies, groups in fancy dresses, starts to parade across the streets. The "Mujesan Carnival" is our town festival, it is lived by the people just for their joy, not only for the entertainment of tourists.

    Ciao! Your carneval sounds like great fun! I have been to carnivals in Spain; in Tenerife and Barcelona, and they were both fantastic experiences! I was in Muggia a few years back when Cristina took us there in the other project "The Sea". It was a really pretty and cosy small town/village! I sure like to go back!
