These are mainly festivals, fairs or special events, such as the one that takes place in Ascoli Piceno and is called “Carnevale”. This is the masked festival typical of the peninsula, although in Ascoli is held precisely during the period that elapses between the recurrence of St. Anthony Abbot and Lent. Also in Ascoli there is the so-called “Ascoliva Festival”, a festival dedicated to food, typical dishes, the tradition of Ascoli and its olive ascolane.
