FEBRUARY - Frearzu


It is the month dedicated to Carnival all over Sardinia. In Oristano "La Sartiglia" the last Sunday of Carnival, and on shrove Tuesday – an equestrian. In Tempio the Carnival has a jolly aspect.

Some other carnival parades take place at Samugheo, Sedilo, Sindia, Fluminimaggiore, ecc.

Just in Mamoiada the "Issokadores" and the "mamuthones". In Ottana the "boes" – like cows – and the "merdules" dressed with wooden masks.

Apart from the Carnival, we have to underline Saint Biagios’s feast at Gergei.
