Opening the parade will be the traditional clock wagon (Porta Passorino) with the three Ligurian masks: Captain Fracassa, Pue Pepin and Beciancin.
The parade will start from Cadorna Square, will run through Rome course and will arrive in Mazzini Square, where the floats will turn to return to Corso Roma and to reach Cadorna Square again. The awards stage will be positioned in front of the Perelli Residence where the speaker of Radio Onda Ligure,Maurilio, will announce the arrival of the floats and groups.
The Loano waterfront will be enlivened by traditional masks from Piedmont (Maccagli Garden), Lombardy (Nassyria Gardens), Aosta Valley (Chersicla Fountain) and Liguria (Rosa dei Venti Square).
