Beneficial Carnival Association of Lugagnano (VR)

Already in 1981 he began to speak in the Playground Committee, to search for a figure that represented the mask of Lugagnano. There were many suggestions, But given that the country had a past history or medieval characters gives assignment to some villagers ( Mazzi Romualdo, Tomelleri Nicola, Vesentini Giuseppe and Professor Mazzi Danilo ) to search for that figure.
Something emerged from the historic archive of the curia of Verona, was a grassland area owned by the Apostolic See and the conviction is the legend, more than any other, was used in this case, it was said that a caravan of gypsies, coming from East, stopped at this level because their women were giving birth, adding that the old country have always repeated "Lugagnan, sengali of the country" and even in 1956 there was a Lugagnano meeting of hundreds of Gypsies for the wedding of the daughter of the "Queen of Europe".
From this legend was born the name of the mask "The Tzigano" .
