“it’s not about confetti, chalk or streamers but it’s about sweets: chocolates, bonbons, sugared almonds, candies. Tons and tons of sweets: chocolate box, chocolate bars, pastries, delicacies, gianduia, almond brittles. Every float is provided with an overflowing over ten tons. (…) This is a completely evolution: from the homage to the throwing, as the indifference, the cordiality, the generosity and the largesse fire up; from kindness to storm, to fury, in a crowd, in a rush, a in a hailstorm, in a tornado: from a kiss spiced with bruises. A friend of mine … pulled herself out of the crowd so compromised that she had to get married after a few days. Only one, it is said, a hero, a fearless without a mask or helmet, managed (but will it really be true?) to climb up, to move against the tide the stream and reach a place of refreshment, losing just a pair of trousers and a shoe. What is certain is that whoever returns, speaks like a survivor, a veteran. ”
