In Romagna da oltre un secolo c’è un Carnevale “serio” di primavera. La storia dei carri di gesso e di pensiero
A small town in Romagna, Casola Valsenio, has been hosting a unique spring festival for 125 years, featuring massive allegorical floats made of plaster and wood. Unlike traditional carnivals, this event—called the "serious carnival"—takes place in late April/early May and focuses on social and political themes. The floats, up to seven meters long and nine meters high, are built by local youth and paraded twice (day and night) with performers frozen in tableau vivant poses. A jury, this year chaired by Roberto Cantagalli, director of the MAR museum in Ravenna, awards a winner.

A survey conducted by the St Austell Town Team found that approximately 90% of nearly 500 respondents want the controversial 38-foot-tall ceramic sculpture 'Earth Goddess' removed from the town center of St Austell, Cornwall. Installed in June 2022 as part of a regeneration project celebrating the area's China clay heritage, the £80,000 artwork by Sandy Brown has divided opinion, with local business owner and Town Team chair Jake Richards reporting frequent complaints from customers. Suggested relocation sites include the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan, though the artist argues moving the piece is impractical and costly.
