Milan Carnival 2017: the Ambrosian Carnival starts now!

The Sant’Ambrogio Carnival has a development somewhat ‘original, in the sense that when all carnivals end … here begins! Shrove Tuesday it does not lay down here the end of the carnival, which is delayed by a week. This is because on one occasion, just in the time of St. Ambrose, before starting the Lenten rites would wait for the bishop of Milan, who was returning from a pilgrimage.
The mask of the Milan Carnival is Meneghino.
