The Carnival of Limone Piemonte, called "Carual", is a tradition deeply rooted in the town's history and is celebrated on Fat Tuesday, the day before Lent begins. The event is opened by the Cureul, a minstrel who, with a trumpet and tambourine, announces the start of the festivities and gathers the town's traditional characters for the parade.

The central character is Dzandumeni, a simple yet sharp-witted man who, according to legend, was condemned to death for speaking the truth about some of the town's influential figures. The Carnival reaches its climax with the reading of Dzandumeni's will, an ironic satire directed at local authorities and citizens, followed by his symbolic execution by guillotine and the burning of his severed head.

Among the festival's characters, we find:

• Harlequin, wearing the classic diamond-patterned costume;
• The Turk and the Turkish woman, representing the ancient Saracen invaders;
• The gardener and his wife, symbolizing the town's farming tradition;
• The hunter and the huntress, embodying the rural lifestyle;
• The doctor and the nurse, typical community figures;
• The godfather and godmother, carrying a baby in their arms;
• The bride and groom, representing the continuity of the community;
• The old man and old woman, Dzandumeni’s parents, mourning their son’s fate;
• Lu Lasard, the executioner, who carries out the final execution.

A special role is played by the Tupinne, masked figures dressed in white robes with blackened faces, who play pranks and offer sweets to the crowd.

After the parade, the festivities conclude in the town square with dances, songs, and wine, lasting until the beginning of Lent the next day. The document emphasizes the importance of passing down these traditions orally, thanks to the contributions of the town’s elders.
