La tradizionale risottata di Carnevale

In Ticino "Carnevale" is a much loved occasion. In the area of Lugano, the Ambrosian and Roman rites have always coexisted, thus creating a long period of celebrations in which masks, confetti and jokes conquer both the young and old.

The Lugano Carnevale officially started four days ago when King Sbroja received the city's keys from the mayor Marco Borradori in Piazza della Riforma. Did you watch the masked parade of Lugano's school pupils immediately after the delivery?

Today everything is ready for the traditional risotto of the King Sbroja Carneval offered by Corriere del Ticino and Banca Raiffeisen. The popular lunch will take place from 11.45 in Piazza della Riforma.

Given the good weather, between 4,000 and 5,000 people are expected to join the fun and for the first time this year, washable tableware will be introduced for which a deposit of 5 francs will be asked for dishes and 2 francs for glasses. I can't think of a better way to start the week. Buon Appetito!
