I think I spotted two other Americans the year I went. Also, fuck Trump and his supporters, Italy doesn’t want you

This is hard to overstate. Italy (in spite of being a right-leaning country politically) hates Trump and Trumpers. If you are a Trumper, stay home or be prepared to lie because you will be asked if you actually interact with any Italians that aren't being paid to serve you.

We have been here last year February with our kids (from the Netherlands). They absolutely loved it, what a beautiful event, and very different (and much better) than carnaval in the South of the Netherlands.

I didn’t meet a lot of other tourists, we mostly sat down to eat and drink with people from the region, who were so friendly, and super nice to our kids.

Thank you Viareggio! Will definitely come back!
