Thank you, guys : ) Un beso enorme a Natasha con H : )
That is more or less the same as I left in my translation... and I thank you again for your support : )
There was a similar (involving social inversion) "holiday" celebrated in medieval England some time in the winter.
Nice find, NatasHa! I think you have hit the nail on the head.
Here is a scholarly article about Carnival, which discusses this concept. Search for the word reversal.

And I think your suggestion of role-reversal is an excellent one.
Look here:

But I'm still not sure how to translate that to English. Role-reversal?
P.D. Soy yo, Natasha con hache. ja ja.
El carnaval es ejemplo por excelencia de las fiestas de inversión. Era, especialmente en la Europa del sur, la fiesta popular más importante del año y el momento en que podía decirse, al menos una vez y con relativa impunidad, lo que se callaba a menudo.
Natasa, I think the first suggestion, that this may be a typo for diversión, may be the most likely after all. Nothing else really makes sense here.
"The Carnival is the quintessential amusement/revelry festival. It was, especially in the south of Europe, the most important popular festival of the year, and it was the only time when people could say things, at least once and with relative impunity, that were usually left unsaid."
Good morning, everybody : ) I'll switch to English. So, the first paragraph is an introduction about Renaissance carnivals (where, when. who). The sentence we are talking about here is the first one of the next paragraph.
El carnaval es ejemplo por excelencia de las fiestas de inversión. Era, especialmente en la Europa del sur, la fiesta popular más importante del año y el momento en que podía decirse, al menos una vez y con relativa impunidad, lo que se callaba a menudo.
After that it goes on about debauchery. It makes no connection with the financial aspect of carnivals.
Thank you all
Isn't it just saying this carnival is an example of these reenactment type fiestas'

I went to the dictionary and it said inversion in Spanish means changes in time--so I guess it means a festival out of time---|a Renaissance festival, a Civil War Re-enactment, colonial Williamsburg, etc.
But how does that apply to the Carnival, which this sentence says is a perfect example of these festivals?

hola que tal como de donde escrives , yo estoy en usa en chicago ill
You might need to give us the sentences before and after, Nasata.
The literal translation, as you probably know, would be "The Carnival is the quintessential investment festival." That does sound pretty strange, but then again, a huge amount of money goes into such festivals, so maybe this really is the intended meaning.
Can't see any relation to the Renaissance, though...
