For the Feast of Corpus Domini – sixty days after Easter – floral splendor carpets the medieval alleyways of hilltown gem, Spello, for their stunning festival, le Infiorate.
Depending on the year’s climactic conditions, la fioritura (“the flowerings”) of Castelluccio di Norcia explodes near the lentil fields on the Great Plain (at over 1300 m) at the end of June or early July.
Do try to time your Umbria sojourn to take in one – if not both! – of Umbria’s floral spectacles.
