Le Giornate del Bartoccio 2019 – Perugia

Dal 9 Febbraio al 3 Marzo 2019

La città di Perugia celebra l’antico protagonista del Carnevale perugino con circa quindici giorni di festeggiamenti, eventi, spettacoli, canti, musica e tante sorprese. Bartoccio da Pian del Tevere è difatti la tipica maschera carnevalesca locale, nata nel ‘600 e poi tramandata nella letteratura dialettale e nella satira popolare; la maschera incarna un contadino che si esprime in un dialetto semplice e rustico, dall’indole burlesca e furba, specchio critico della realtà dell’epoca.

La società del Bartoccio si propone di far rivivere l’antica tradizione, organizzando i festeggiamenti del Carnevale con giornate coinvolgenti ricche di iniziative culturali e popolari. Segnaliamo per grandi e piccoli il suggestivo Spettacolo di Burattini “Il Bartoccio Invisibile” curato da Tieffeu, sabato 2 Marzo.

Per questo 2019, le Giornate del Bartoccio coinvolgeranno anche alcune località limitrofe come Torgiano e Monteleone di Spoleto, con feste e divertimento domenica 3 Marzo. Proprio a Torgiano, è prevista in particolare la Sfilata dei Carri con il Bartoccio.
