The Citadel of the Carnival
The new site for the construction of masked wagons, the Citadel complex, was inaugurated on December 15, 2001 according to a project by Francesco Tomassi. It is located in the northern part of the city, the wagons are inside hangars that can be visited by groups and individuals not only during the carnival period. Furthermore, this complex is also a center of culture and entertainment with open spaces that can be used all year round: the elliptical square bordered by the hangars themselves is an excellent location for concerts and various events; it was in fact used for the now traditional Gaber Festival dedicated to the artist of the same name and to numerous world-class concerts and musicals throughout the summer. Inside, a museum and a guided tour on the history of the Viareggio carnival have been created.
On May 13, 2010, the City Council of Viareggio, in order to cover the expenses of the municipal budget for 2010, authorized the sale of the Cittadella del Carnevale to a bank with concurrent leasing to the Viareggio Carnival Foundation.
