Infiorata

Yep its Sunday so it's another big day. Its 60 days and one week after Corpus Domini so it's obviously the day of the Infiorata.

This is where small villlages like ours, Manciano, and town and cities throughout Italy will decorate their street with the petals of flowers - as shown here. This one is in Manciano but locally probably the best display is in Spello where they close off the main street through the lovely hilltop town and there is a serious Infiorata competition along it. I recommend it if you are ever in Umbria this time of year.

We went last year but like most trips we do we forgot to take the camera!
