It surprises the eye of the foreigner and Sardinian carnival celebrations that connect to it. According to tradition starts from 17th of January, the Feast of St. Anthony Abbot, and lasts until Ash Wednesday. What I find surprising is the variety of celebrations, which also vary substantially from area to area. Each village has its own mask and a carnival. What for charm, color and rhythm precedence over the other is perhaps the one that is celebrated in Mamoiada, where the famous Mamuthones accompanied by brightly Issohadores perpetrators before the greedy eyes of those present, the most ancient battle that Sardinia is known. And many see this in the clash between the Evil and the Famine, represented by Mamuthones and their bells, and among the young and colorful Issohadores, representatives of Good and dell'Abbondanza that stifles Poverty. The masks will question if the display on several occasions, but it certainly should not go unnoticed in the celebrations held in late August Muravera, where at the end of August, will attend the summer carnival. Masks from every corner of the parade in main streets of the country, entertaining and surprising present. (Maskaras). Spring Festival is now one that is celebrated for centuries in Cagliari, which celebrates the exploits of Sant'Efisio, through the intercession of which the city was in a remote time now, freed from the scourge of plague. It 'a festival of colors, costumes and music, but the bite remains the religious leader, who knows its beginning on 1 May.
