Le Infiorate di Spello

spettacolare vedere tutti questi fiori in ogni angolo del paese

Spello dalle recensioni che avevo letto mi aspettavo qualcosa di più.... Probabilmente è da vedere nel periodo dell' infiorata... Il borgo cmq molto bello... Abbiamo fatto una bella passeggiata tra viuzze .... Sicuramente in questo periodo nn vi è troppa. Gente x cui lo puoi visitare con tranquillità... Mi piacerebbe vederlo anche in primavera... sicuramente cambia aspetto.

Uno dei paesi più belli di Italia, perdersi fra i suoi vicoli è magico, lasciatevi trasportare dallo stupore e ammirate la storia dei palazzi con i loro rifacimenti e restrutturazioni secolari.

Borgo bellissimo con strette vie piene di fiori, da visitare.

Stupendo borgo con vicoli stretti caratteristico di un paese ha mantenuto la sua storia con le sue case caratteristiche con i balconi e giardini fioriti . Merita una visita.

THE ORIGINS OF THE SPELLO INFIORATE Every year in Spello, on the occasion of Corpus Domini, from 1500 to 2000 meters of carpets and floral paintings inspired by religious motifs are manufactured. The custom of honoring the divinity with launches of floral material or the creation of floral compositions on the ground is lost in the mists of time in many places, but in Spello this tradition, which was channeled into throwing, then artfully placing plant elements on the roadway , is documented in the Municipality Archives for the first time in 1831. On the occasion of the visit of Bishop Ignazio Cadolini who should have taken possession of the city, on 19 October 1831 the gonfalonier Francesco Nicoletti requested all the inhabitants of the houses overlooking on the main street, through which the procession with the high prelate would pass, to keep the respective stretches of road in front of their houses well cleaned and free from any rubble for that day and to sprinkle a copy of flowers or vegetables [ ...]. The iconographic evidence relating to the infiorate in Spello dates back to the early 1900s: Benvenuto Crispoldi (1886-1923), painter and mayor of Spello, depicted the passage of the Corpus Domini procession on the infiorata in one of his paintings. In a short time, the artistic composition of the flowered carpet took hold in Spello, which transformed the feast of Corpus Domini into a joyful occasion in which all the families and then groups of ever more expert flower growers could compare their works and reward those judged to be the best for their ability. technique, precision and creativity. Organized for forty years by Pro Spello and since 2002 by the Association "Le Infiorate di Spello", with the patronage of the Region and local authorities, the event attracts thousands of visitors and tourists: since 2007, for the occasion, 60-100 thousand people arrive every year in Spello between Saturday and Sunday.
