This festival, which took place on the evening of Shrove Tuesday, has always impressed foreign artists who attended. They were called “moccoletti” lit candles that the Romans, nobles and commoners, brought in via del Corso trying out the others and to defend its own; who could put out the light of others could take his mask. There was also also the freedom to insult the one who remained without flame. The carnival was extinguished with the dimming of the last snot and with the last supper of “Fat Tuesday” before the Lent that started the next day.
