The Carnival of Fano is documented as far back as 1347: it is among the oldest in Italy and remains one of the best loved in Le Marche. For 2027 the organisers have announced three great parade Sundays: 31 January, 7 and 14 February.
Two things set it apart from every other carnival. The getto: an extraordinary quantity of sweets rains down on the crowd from the floats, and people come equipped with upturned umbrellas and baskets to catch them. And the Musica Arabita, described by the organisers as the carnival's essential, identity-defining symbol: a band that plays on pots, tins and improvised instruments.
The hard part of any carnival is getting there: on parade Sundays Fano fills up and parking becomes a battle. Staying in Senigallia removes the problem entirely: it's 21 km, the train takes 9-13 minutes with around twenty connections a day and a ticket costing a few euros. Loft Pisacane27 is in the old town, 10 minutes' walk from the station: you go and come back on foot and by train, with no car at all.
For the 2027 edition the Municipality of Fano has announced a new organisational model and four brand-new first-category floats, presented at the end of September 2026.
«History goes on holiday»: a tribute to Vitruvius and to the Basilica recently discovered in Fano. By Daniele Mancini Palamoni and Gianluca Isotti.
A futuristic theme about sound and human consciousness. By Luca Vassilich.
Dedicated to Italian tennis, featuring Jannik Sinner and Fano's own Luciano Darderi. By Mauro Chiappa.
Imitation and the surreal, among Roman architecture. By Valeria Guerra.
The carnival's symbol regains a central role and this year portrays the discovery of the Basilica of Vitruvius.
More sweets for longer, starting already on the presentation lap. And for visitors there is a dedicated float from which tourists can take an active part in the festival.
«The advantage of staying in Senigallia is all in the journey home: when the parade ends and Fano empties into the traffic, you're on a thirteen-minute train.»

The organisers have announced three parade Sundays: 31 January, 7 and 14 February 2027. It's worth re-checking the official programme closer to the date.
Four new first-category floats — «Veni, Vidi, Vitruvio», «Cyber Sound», «Montagne Verdi» and «Fake» —, the Pupo back at the centre, a richer getto starting already on the presentation lap, and a dedicated float from which tourists can take part in the festival.
About 21 kilometres. By train it's 9-13 minutes, with around twenty connections a day and a ticket costing just a few euros.
On parade Sundays Fano is crowded and parking is difficult. From Senigallia the train takes minutes, there's more availability, and the car problem disappears completely.
It's the throwing of sweets from the floats into the crowd — the most famous tradition of the Fano Carnival. Many spectators arrive with upturned umbrellas to catch them.
No: from Loft Pisacane27 the Senigallia station is a 10 minute walk, and the train reaches Fano in minutes.
