The unique historical Carnival of Fiorenzuola d'Arda, a town located along the Via Emilia in the province of Piacenza, takes place every year in the weekend before Lent. In 2025 it wil take place on Saturday 1 st and Sunday 2nd of March.

Since the late Middle Ages, the Zobia has invaded the streets of the city center with its crazy circus. It is a real outdoor theater where, during the parade of floats and handmade carts, everyone improvises as an actor interacting with the public through jokes and sketches in dialect. Without a mask, however, because traditionally the Zobia is with uncovered faces.

A local carnival, made of fun, new wine and good food. A carnival as simple as it is sincere and authentic, because it is built with the passion of the people.
