SPELLO'S MEDIEVAL TOWN: EVENTS AND TRADITIONS

Numerous are the events that animate the town during the year – testimonial of the people’s connection to traditions. The most famous event is “L’Infiorata” (floral compositions) of the Corpus Domini that has its roots in ancient times. In the marvelous frame of the medieval town of Spello, it is possible to admire the charming scenery that is offered by the roads and alleys covered by floral setups that reproduce figurations and ornamental liturgical patterns. The compositions are very carefully prepared for weeks, though only the evening and the night previous to the “festa” they are arranged as floral carpets, whose scent and unraveling colors create a very suggestive show.
