Rome, January 24. (Adnkronos/Labitalia) – Carnival represents an occasion of joy between parents and children and Kinder® wants to accompany adults and children to the festivities by bringing them a traveling carnival throughout Italy where they will be able to discover a typical traditional toy, still made sweeter and more fun thanks to Kinder goodness: the Pentolaccia.

Games and sweets have always contributed to the festive atmosphere that characterizes the carnival, and with Kinder Pentolaccia, children will be able to have fun, play together and enjoy Kinder® specialities. To better celebrate this anniversary, the public will have maximum entertainment thanks to a special traveling Kinder Carnival that will stop at some of the most famous and family-friendly carnivals in Italy: Fano Carnival (Marche), Acireale (Sicily), Putignano Carnival (Puglia), Cento Carnival (Emilia Romagna and Viareggio Carnival (Tuscany).

From float parades to entertainment, everything is designed to ensure fun for participants of all ages and create fond memories for adults and children alike. Inside the Kinder® corner, all the families attending the “capitals” of the Carnival will be able to try their hand at the game of breaking the Kinder Pot and discover what goodies will be filled inside. In fact, families will be able, through a fun digital game, to choose their favorite product from the 3 suggested, so that they can find it in the piñata. In addition, you will be able to take fun photos and family memories at the photo booth located in the Kinder® corner and engage with Kinderino, the infallible and beloved mascot, who will bring the booth and carnival to life in the city.

The Fano Carnival, born way back in 1374, is one of the oldest in the world. The parades of the big floats are opened by the carnival dedicated to children, which officially starts the festivities in the city from the morning. Kinder® will come to life on the opening day of the festivities, Sunday 28 January, at its stand in the Pincio area. The one in Acireale is considered the most beautiful Carnival in Sicily thanks to the allegorical-grotesque floats that parade through the beautiful streets and squares of the historic center. It traces its roots back to 1594 and is one of the most authentic and fascinating displays of island folklore. Kinder® will come to life on the weekend of February 3 and 4, at its stand in Piazza Indirizzo.

With a history of more than 600 years, the Putignano Carnival is one of the oldest and longest running in the world. A popular festival known for its allegorical chariots and 'horses', masked characters representing the different ages of life. Kinder® will bring to life the main day of the celebrations, Sunday 11 February, at its stand in Piazza San Domenico. The Cento Carnival is the first carnival in the world to be twinned, starting in 1993, with the Rio de Janeiro Carnival. Among the characteristics of this carnival is the throwing of inflatable and soft toys from the floats to the spectators, the so-called “ghetto”. Kinder® will come alive on the day of February 18, at its stand in Piazzale della Rocca.

The Viareggio carnival is one of the most important in Italy and in the world, which now boasts over 150 years of tradition and more than 500,000 spectators for each edition. For the sixth year in a row, Kinder® will come alive on all days of the festivities – Saturday 3rd, Thursday 8th, Sunday 11th, Tuesday 13th, Sunday 18th and Saturday 24th – which will be the stage for six Great Masked Courses. The Kinder stand will be located on Viareggio beach street. This year there will be the opportunity to celebrate Carnival also on the ski slopes of the Dolomites in picturesque Cortina on February 12 and 23.
