Dear Friends REVIEWS Strambi, good evening to all from Roger, and Welcome back to the fourth round with a view of BURLAMACCO, our section dedicated to the Carnival of Viareggio.
After the first two courses of Carnival, held with the weather not really exciting, to do a master course in the third masked the sun. After two Sundays marked by rain fine and wind, finally the third course of Carnival takes place on a beautiful sunny day, and spring temperatures. Since morning Viareggio is invaded by people in high expectations for the course. Not only the course record virtually sold out (more than 300,000 people, with more than 750,000 Euro box office; of collection is the highest recorded ever in the history of the Carnival), but even given the great success, and the consequent slowdown in wagons in making a turn, also the course was lengthened by about half an hour, ending at 18:30, thus giving the public three hours and a half of actual show, which really leaves your mouth open even the smallest. Even the same wagon papier-mâché, the sun finally manage to stand out more in their forms, giving a great show. But not only. Thanks to the wonderful day, can also remove the masked group, and especially the masked isolated, that on Sunday before they could not remove due to bad weather, ensuring the audience the beauty of the course in its entirety.
In this, however, look a bit 'some pictures of the third course, with this first video. Enjoy.
continue with other exciting images of the third course .
together after reliving the most exciting moments of the 3rd course, let's talk about 'the hangar CITADEL, a subject that allows us to speak of a very sad legacy to the history of Carnival, which took place in a very sad time for us to Viareggio.
If June 29, 2009 has become a Unfortunately, very sad time, following the rail disaster that struck our city, and that, due to the explosion of a tank containing LPG has unfortunately caused 32 casualties, another previously on June 29 had brought a lot of sadness in our city, June 29, this time , linked to the history of Carnival. To be able to tell what happened the night of June 29, 1960, we must go back in time.
After World War II following the huge success of the Carnival, there is the need to build the most suitable areas where they can build the various tanks in papier mache. This led to the booths to inland sites at the bottom of Cairoli and Machiavelli. Actually the area was owned by the State Railways, but the public body gave a concession in February 1949 to COMMITTEE CELEBRATIONS area in question, and even in the edition of Viareggio MASK (the official journal of the Carnevale) in that year is published a photo of the new hangar under construction . The workshops were divided among the different manufacturers and became a valuable reference point for Viareggio, has always been very fond of wagons and their implementation.
Unfortunately, at 2 am on June 29, 1960 a terrible fire destroyed the hangar and more. In three hours, in fact, not only the burned hangar, but all they contained, worth 100 million at the time of the time. The show appeared to be firemen, both to tank crewmen, who came running, as soon as the news spread of the fire was really dramatic: in fact you could see the skeletons of a few blackened and twisted iron support stand on a landscape of ashes and rubble. It seemed that this night had not been burned not only the hangar, but a bit 'all over the carnival. D'Arliano and Pardini, the two veterans of the Carnival, they set out toward the center of destroyed, among the creatures of their carcasses destroyed, and even unable to stand the pain, they embraced, sobbing, "It's all over!" .
Fortunately, after the first difficult moment, the passion took over. While the day after the newspapers named after characters headlines of the tragedy, using dramatic, the city had decided that the Carnival of 1961 there would be.
The Carnival Committee, chaired by Sergio Bator, promised the tank drivers in the new wrought iron and concrete hangars, hangar, which would be achieved via Marco Polo, near the railway. The work, carried out very quickly, costs 26 million and 500 thousand pounds, and the hangars were delivered in December 1960, in order to give the tank drivers in the eight new hangars the chance to finish the floats for Carnival 1961, which began in Stores and shelters. In the hangar of the Marco Polo would have been born wagons and tank drivers who have made history Carnival of Viareggio.
At this point, we see two movies about what happened June 29, 1960, and became known as the city recover from this difficult time. Let's start with the first movie, taken from the series of the first prizes, created by Piero Ambrosini, with commentary by BRUNELLO ROMANS. The episode is dedicated to the first awards from 1953 to 1962, with hints from 6:07 minutes the fire of June 29, 1960.

The Citadel, if we was built in record time: the first stone was laid in June 1999, has cost 25 billion lire, we have 16 hangars, and was financed by the sale of lands of the old hangar, with the 'issue of BOC (MUNICIPAL BONDS) with state contributions, proceeds from lottery CARNIVAL.
Let's see a picture of the Citadel from above.
