Carnevale!

As in previous years, we visited the Viarregio carnival float parade on Sunday. As usual, the town was very full of bystanders as well as participants in costume, and, as usual, the floats were elaborate, spectacular and hard-hitting.

A beautiful float about an unusual subject - the Boruca tribe of Costa Rica, who have retained their culture since the conquest of America
The bull of Wall street approaches, even though he is fast becoming "The Dragon of Chinatown Street" as China's economy overtakes that of USA
He was moving!  He was very impressive!
Meanwhile, Matteo Renzi, Italy's former Prime Minister, is consigned to the dustbin  ...
A float which is kind of about Italy and her suitors - or something!
The Statue of Liberty precariously surfs Trump's coiff 
One of several floats enlisting the Polar bear to raise the topic of climate change
Up close and personal!
