Mercu Scûrot - Carnevale di Borgosesia

Borgosesia's carnivalesque Ash Wednesday ritual, where townsfolk in top hats and frock coats parade the streets to stage the ceremonial funeral and burning of Peru Magunella, the carnival's own masked king, uniquely defying the Roman rite by crowning Lent with revelry rather than ending before it.
