The Verona Carnival<\/strong> is one of the oldest events<\/strong> and therefore very much felt by the citizens for the historical and cultural value of the tradition it represents.
\nThe Pap\u00e0 del Gnoco<\/strong> is Verona’s main mask. The name derives from papus, to eat. He is represented as an elderly, ruddy man with a long white beard, dressed in hazelnut brocade and a cloak, with a red tuba to which rattles are attached, a hat and white leather shoes. Since he is considered the King of the Bacanal del Gnoco<\/strong>, he has as his sceptre a large golden fork, in which a potato dumpling is stuck. This is why, during the carnival period, gnocchi are the most widely served dish throughout the area and the Venard\u00ec Gnocolar<\/em><\/strong> is instituted, a day when all the Veronese eat this dish wherever they are.<\/p>\n

On 23 January, the 494th Papa del Gnoco<\/strong> was crowned at the Palazzo della Gran Guardia<\/strong> – Paolo Fabrello<\/strong> -. He is a name dear to the Verona Carnival, as he already wielded the golden fork eight years ago, in 2016.<\/p>\n\r\n\r\n \r\n
