The Historical Carnival of Verrès - Carnevale Storico di Verrès is celebrated every year since 1948.
Verrès is located in Vallée d'Aoste in North West Italy. During the four days of the carnival, the city residents and guests are “voyage in time" to the Middle-Ages.
They reconstruct a very important event in the culture and local history where Kathrin the lady of the castle and her husband went to the people.
The outstanding event took place on May 31st 1450 where the couple went down from Verrès castle, accompanied with armed guard, to the town square and started to dance with the astonished residents.
