Forgetting the daily struggles and hardships and celebrating them again before Lent: that has always been one of the functions of Carnival. And that includes costumes and games. The “Krone” looked around Carinthia and the German-speaking islands in Northern Italy…
The fifth season, which is quite short this year, is approaching its climax and ends: next Saturday, February 10, tens of thousands of masked people are expected to parade in Villach. Carnival Sunday, Lent Monday and Lent Tuesday are also very busy in many places. The lavish parties were always accompanied by gluttony and alcohol abuse. The “Vaschanc”, the last serving of alcohol by the guilds before Lent, as well as the Lenten procession on the day before Ash Wednesday have been documented since 1272.
