Carnevale Fiorentino nel Mondo
Florence Carnival around the world. Finally we find Carnival. The parade highlighted the myriad ethnic communities in Florence--Philippines, Denmark, Eritrea, Czech Republic, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and many more. We were in the square near our apartment where the parade ended. Cute Polizia at the head of the parade. (Wm was taking most of the pictures.)
A drum band led out

Lots of energy in this guy from some unknown country

Me and someone from maybe Indonesia
After the parade each group did a performance. This group was prior to the parade. A group of school children singing old McDonald had a farm. In Italian it sounds pretty good. Ben and Axel would have grooved to it.
