Dietro l’allegria delle maschere e dei coriandoli, il Carnevale custodisce una storia antica, sospesa fra sacro e profano, comicità e mistero.
Come nasce questa festa? Perché ci si maschera? E quale significato assumono il travestimento, il rovesciamento delle regole e gli eccessi che precedono la Quaresima?
Questo volume ripercorre le origini e le trasformazioni del Carnevale, dalle antiche ritualità stagionali al suo ingresso nel calendario cristiano, fino alle celebrazioni popolari contemporanee.
All’interno scoprirai:
• le possibili radici storiche del Carnevale e i suoi legami con il ciclo dell’anno
• il significato simbolico delle maschere, del travestimento e del rovesciamento sociale
• Arlecchino, Pulcinella, Gianduja e le principali maschere della tradizione italiana
• i Carnevali più celebri d’Italia, da Venezia alle feste popolari regionali
• carri allegorici, cortei, satire, leggende e specialità gastronomiche
• le forme assunte dal Carnevale in Europa e nel resto del mondo
Tra storia, folklore e cultura popolare emerge il ritratto di una festa viva e multiforme, capace di trasformarsi nel tempo senza perdere la propria forza comunitaria.
Un saggio divulgativo per chi desidera andare oltre l’immagine più conosciuta del Carnevale e comprenderne rituali, simboli e profonde radici culturali.
Un volume della collana Tradizioni & Folklore, dedicata alle feste e alle tradizioni come espressioni della memoria collettiva.
