#infiorata2016

A close-up of one of Noto's flower petal carpets from the 2016 Infiorata. Once the weekend festival comes to and end, the children of the town are invited to gleefully destroy the art work, a gesture that represents a new generation coming and not to be attached to the past.

The 37th annual Infiorata in Noto is in full swing! Hundreds of people lined via Nicolaci on Saturday to view the flower carpets designed after the theme, "Traditions, myths, and legends" that celebrates "Hosting the world." I'm fortunate to have received this photo from Experience Sicily's local guide Sebastiano Garifo. Thank you Sebastiano! #noto #infiorata #flowerfestival #flowerpetals #festival #festa #infiorata2016 #vianicolaci #experiencesicily #sicily #sicilia #siciliabedda #sizilien #italy #italia #italien #sicilytourism #sicilytravel #sicily_tourism #sicily_travel #sicilians_world #ig_sicily #siciliaph #siciliafoto #fotosicilia #sicilyphoto #instasicilia #gf_italy #siculamenteDoc #sicily_tricolors

Today, artists were hard at work along via Nicolaci in Noto preparing their entries into the 2016 Infiorata. Our good friends from @gelsominoimports are fortunate enough to be in the Baroque city for the festival. These photos by Niki Masino give us a good idea of the planning and execution of the flower petal carpets. Hopefully, we'll have more to share tomorrow! #noto #infiorata #flowerfestival #flowerpetals #festival #festa #infiorata2016 #experiencesicily #sicily #sicilia #siciliabedda #sizilien #italy #italia #italien #sicilytourism #sicilytravel #sicily_tourism #sicily_travel #sicilians_world #ig_sicily #siciliaph #siciliafoto #fotosicilia #sicilyphoto #instasicilia #gf_italy #siculamenteDoc #sicily_tricolors
