Carnevale di Palma Campania

Scugnizzi

Year of foundation 2015

The Scugnizzi cultural association was born in 2015 and is made up of a group of many kids who love our carnival.

And thanks to this shared passion we have created a large family that aims to carry on the tradition of our country, having fun first and then transmitting emotions and joy to those who observe us from outside.

The chosen theme represents a journey into the past: the history of ancient Egypt with its civilization and culture.

It was chosen precisely for its history which still today continues to reveal its precious antiquity, giving us what the Egyptian people were.

We know the Quadrille
