“Cambara, cambara, cambara and macioni/ pisciurrè, sparedda and mumungioni”. The classic nursery rhyme accompanied by the pounding rhythm of drums and snare drums kicked off the traditional Cagliari carnival. Hundreds of masks met in Piazza Dell'Indipendenza in Castello to cancel two years of restrictions caused by the pandemic and give vent to healthy fun.

A procession that "swelled" as it passed through the streets of the historic districts of the city. Castle, Villanova, Marina and final stage in Piazza Yenne in Stampace.
Festival of masks also in other parts of the city: from Piazza L'Unione Sarda to the bastion of Santa Caterina with hundreds of masked children
On Sunday the "Carrasciali Casteddaju" continues, on the 17th, with a new parade that from Corso Vittorio Emanuele will go along via Manno, via Regina Margherita, via Roma, Largo Carlo Felice and arrive in piazza Yenne.
Tuesday 21 we start at 17, from Piazza Giovanni.

After crossing via Dante, piazza San Benedetto, via Paolo and via Sonnino new passage in via Garibaldi and via Manno. In via Santa Margherita, at 21, the burning of King Cancioffali.
