6–9 February 2027
Lanzo d'Intelvi
The wooden masks of the Mascarun and the Brut parade between the hamlets, and on Shrove Tuesday the Carlisep is burned.
The event recurs every year in this period, but the dates are not confirmed. Check with the organiser.
The Schignano carnival, in the Valle Intelvi, is held in the days of the Roman-rite Carnival.
The procession is led by the Sapeur, faces blackened, with long moustaches, sheepskin clothes and gourd flasks; then come the Mascarun, also called Bèi, with wooden masks and colourful clothes that display wealth, and the Brut, dressed in rags, close it. On Shrove Tuesday the Carlisep, the Carnival effigy, is burned.
On Sunday 8 February 2026, at 14:30, the children parade. On Saturday 14 February the masks set off at 14:30 from Piazza San Giovanni in Occagno to Auvrascio and back, with the traditional dinner at 19:00 at the sports ground. On Tuesday 17 February, Shrove Tuesday, after the parade the Carlisep makes its escape at 16:00 in Piazza San Giovanni, and at 18:00 come the procession and the bonfire at the sports ground.
Distances as the crow flies from where the event is held.
