Festival season: Infiorata

Beautiful Places· Lifestyle

Only once before this year I have been able to admire the beauty of the Infiorata festival celebrated in Genzano, a town close to mine in Italy. Infiorata, which means “decorated with flowers” is a world renown traditional festival which is celebrated every year in mid June in Genzano, a town also famous for its bread and wine.

The festival lasts for three days, almost 1100 pounds of flower petals are used to decorate the street going up to the main church in Genzano. The petals are placed on the ground so to create beautiful designs and shapes related to the Catholic religion and to the theme of peace. 14 pictures are usually created on the ground and these designs cover an area as wide as 1890 meters. On Sunday evening the traditional religious procession takes place and on Monday evening, the last day of the festival, kids run through the petals and mark the end of the celebration.

Genzano’s Infiorata has become so famous that I found myself surrounded by tourists while trying to squeeze in the crowd to snap some photos. From Spanish to English speaking people, it was such a beautiful day to enjoy such a mixture of cultures who came all together to look at this amazing work of art. 

Below you’ll find some of the photos I took.

    Erika, this is absolutely amazing. I know countless hours must have gone into creating all of this beauty. What a meaningful festival for their religion and peace. Beautiful. 🙂 Thank you for sharing it with us at Treasure Box Tuesday. Pinned. 🙂

Welcome

Ciao!

My name is Erika, I’m 29 years old, half Canadian and half Italian, I am proud of being both and I never introduce myself as only one or the other. I’m based in Toronto, Canada, but you’ll see me travelling all over the world. On this blog I’m going to share my own, personal style, my favourite beauty products and everything and anything I like or just feel like writing about. I hope you’ll enjoy your stay on my blog!

I have a healthy (because I say so) / unhealthy ob I have a healthy (because I say so) / unhealthy obsession with scones! I have been looking and making scones for so long and I don’t think I’ll ever stop because scones are the best! Especially topped with clotted cream and jam 😍 all this to let you know I found really good ones in Toronto at @kittenandthebear and I recommend you go try them if you’re as passionate about scones as I am! Now… where’s my tea? 🤔…. ❤️ enjoy!

I spent the last 18 days with my family and friend I spent the last 18 days with my family and friends. I visited my favourite cities, laughed with some of my favourite people and enjoyed my beloved spring, sunny days. 
I left 18 days ago, doubtful and uncertain of the future and I leave soon full of hope. Now it’s time to go. But I go knowing that I will be back soon.
I also need to go check on my cat.
