Carnival Toys
FOR OVER 50 YEARS
An all-Italian company that for over 50 years has been designing, producing and marketing carnival costumes, masks, wigs and accessories suitable for any festive occasion.
The company at present
Carnival Toys was founded in 1970 by Pietro Minghetti and is now led by his son, Diego. Today, Carnival Toys is a solid Italian company that designs, produces and sells Carnival costumes, masks, wigs and accessories.
L'impresa nasce in un piccolo capannone a Godo, in provincia di Ravenna, dove Minghetti avvia la produzione di maschere di Carnevale con stampi di legno, decorazioni con aerografo e finiture completate in cabina di verniciatura.
The company came to be in 1970 in a small warehouse in Godo, a small town in the province of Ravenna. There, Mr Minghetti started a production of Carnival masks using wooden moulds, decorating them with an airbrush and giving the finishing touches inside a painting booth. In the mid Seventies, Mr Minghetti moved to serigraphy and the company acquired new technologies. Thanks to them, the production process became much quicker. The product selection was then expanded to include wigs.
In 1980, Mr Minghetti’s original creations were presented during a trade fair in Milan and they won over the workers of the sector. Such an incredible success determined the growth of the company. From that moment on, Carnival Toys has been characterised by growth and innovation. In 1992, the company moved to its present headquarters, still situated in the town of Godo, but equipped with much bigger workshops, offices and exhibition spaces.
