In This Alpine Village, Carnival Is a 600-Year-Old Ritual

Описание: How can an ancient Alpine carnival keep a community’s identity alive for centuries? In this episode, we explore the Mòcheni Carnival of Palù del Fersina, a unique tradition in Trentino where rituals, masks and the Mòcheno language preserve a living cultural heritage in the Italian Alps.

🌍 In this episode of the series "OUR VALUES", we travel to Palù del Fersina in the Fersina Valley (Trentino) to discover one of the most fascinating traditional carnivals in the Italian Alps. Here, ancient masks, symbolic costumes and ritual gestures turn the village into a living stage where history, myth and identity come to life.

Through music, movement and community participation, the Mòcheni Carnival brings together generations and keeps centuries-old traditions alive.

Another key element of this heritage is the Mòcheno language — a living dictionary of the territory. Words, place names and expressions preserve the bond between people, landscape and memory, giving voice to legends, rituals and celebrations.
