Carnival Tempio the Thursday before Lent begins with the triumphal entry into the city of King George puppet. The Sunday is celebrated on marriage between King George and the commoner Mannena , typically dressed in boldly, as tradition dictates. Mannena give the king a son to be King George for next carnival.
The parade of carnival floats Tempio is for the first time in 1956 . The
main character is "George", formerly called Jolgliu Puntogliu , but today "His Majesty King George" , which represents the power in all its forms.
| For six days King George is praised, honored and flattered, but the Mardi Gras , guilty of representing all the ills of the city, is processed and burned in the public square . He thus repeats the ancient fire ritual that heralds the end of winter and the arrival of spring. |
