With the Putignano Summer Carnival approaching, a tour of property in Italy could help to uncover some of the secrets behind the event.

The organisers of the carnival explain that property in Italy‘s Middle Ages town of Putignano bears the hallmarks of the history of the carnival and other popular traditions.

Its walls, white stones and balconies each speak to visitors of the lives of residents of the town in generations gone by.

For present-day residents, the carnival is an opportunity to enjoy three days of summer celebrations.

The event is scheduled for July 2nd, 3rd and 4th, with free entry to the streets where the processions and other entries on the itinerary are due to take place.

However, for an extra cost, tickets can be bought for the stands of the carnival.

Visitors should expect to see processions, fancy dress and face masks – and the chance to watch a World Cup match in a true party atmosphere.
