Twinned with Rio + massive gettito (throwing)
💡 Pro tip: Position yourself under the floats during the gettito (throwing) — they throw thousands of toys, sweets, and gadgets into the crowd. Kids go crazy.
⚠️ Heads up: Cento is between Bologna and Ferrara — easy to reach by train. Combine with a Bologna food day.
Bottom line
The only Italian carnival twinned with Rio de Janeiro. The gettito throwing from floats makes it the most fun for families.
