Embracing Tradition: The Floral Splendor of Noale's Infiorata"

Hello friends of this fantastic community!

Today in particular, I would like to share with you a pleasant experience I had yesterday. Every year, on the first and second of June, a truly traditional event takes place in a town that is a few kilometers from my home but still within my region.

It's the "infiorata" of Noale, a beautiful event that occurs because of the religious celebration of Corpus Christi, a solemnity of the Catholic religion often celebrated in Italy and many places in my country, where the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist is celebrated. This festivity has very ancient roots, dating back to around the 1200s or even earlier.

So in Noale, this beautiful town in the province of Venice, the group of local flower arrangers, an association that has been around for several years, creates a floral carpet in the main street of the town, which can be admired over these two days. And this year too, I didn't want to miss this beautiful tradition carried on by these people who live there, and as you can see, there were quite a few people who came from neighboring regions as well.

They are true artists in creating this. Moreover, every year these floral representations have a specific theme; this year, it was chosen to dedicate the infiorata to children, symbolizing the gift and hope for the future, and also to honor the World Children's Day, which took place a few weeks ago in Rome.

I would like to know if this event occurs in other countries around the world or if there is this tradition elsewhere??

Anyway, getting back to us, during this event, money is collected, which will then be donated to children living through the tragedy of conflict in the Gaza Strip through the Save the Children organization. This is to remind us that children are not to blame for these conflicts they unfortunately endure.

Beyond this event, I still recommend visiting the city of Noale because it is very charming, and certainly, this beautiful event was a special opportunity to visit it. I hope I have conveyed to you the emotions I felt through my photos.

See you in my next post! Bye friends
