Inside The Mysterious Barbagia Carnival: The Wildest Festival in Sardinia, Italy | SLICE

The Barbagia Carnival in Sardinia is unlike any other. A wild and ancient celebration, it blends pagan rituals, striking costumes, and blazing bonfires in a mesmerizing display of tradition.

Dressed in eerie wooden masks and shaggy sheepskins, the Mamuthones and Issohadores move rhythmically through the streets, their heavy cowbells echoing like ghosts of the past. These mysterious figures, believed to date back to pre-Christian times, perform a ritual dance that captures the spirit of Sardinia’s untamed history.

As the flames of massive bonfires light up the night, locals and visitors gather to witness a festival that feels like a journey through time. More than just a carnival, the Barbagia Carnival is a living relic of ancient Sardinian culture, where myth and reality collide in an unforgettable spectacle.
