On our last day in Italy we unexpectedly found ourselves in the middle of a huge event called “Par Tot” (meaning “For All”).

I had a great vantage point standing on the edge of the Neptune fountain, joined by our friend Patrick from MN.

That’s me with the camera to the right of Patrick (guy in the while t-shirt). The perfect location for the fliming the video below!

It was a city wide event of costumes, music, dancing, floats, jugglers, stilt walkers, and… you name it! They began forming up in Piazza Marjorie mid-afternoon and started down the street for a mile long parade a few hours later, ending up in a park for after dark activities.

What a fantastic way to end our stay in Italy, and it would be worth a return trip just for this event!

For best experience go to FULL SCREEN. Warning – one hour and fifteen minutes in length!

If you get bored with the pre-event activities, skip ahead to about the 15 minute mark.
