The birth of the group was tied to the tradition of
the Carnival where, the “ Lacchè”
The customs were created specially for the
tradition of the Carnival and
now they are maintaining the originality and the vivacity of the past
time: they are adorned from gaudy and coloured cloths
and from bright paiettes.
The
Hats, long cones around a meter and half, are
adorned in the summit from coloured plumage and from coloured sketches of
adhesive paper along the cone.
In time the G.F.P.

represent them also on
stages, in theatres, in
squares with other traditional customs but they always preserve the
originality of the tradition and of the movements.
