At this time of the year,  especially on the occasion of Corpus Domini, many Italian towns decorate  their streets with flower petals creating beautiful artworks ranging  from simple geometric designs to elaborate tapestries inspired by  religious art and famous paintings.   To create the flower carpets,  the design is first sketched in chalk on the pavement, and then filled  in with thousands of petals of various colors. Sometimes soil is used to  highlight the outline of the design. At other times, wood carvings is  used along with flowers. The entire process takes two or three days to  complete. Often a religious procession takes place on the flower carpets  after there are completed. <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-gJ7H03cXRK4/VzmdoQfpjQI/AAAAAAABNcQ/d4jfrVxewAY/infiorata-festival-italy-26.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Although the practice of honoring divinities  and illustrious personages, such as emperors and warriors, by throwing  flowers or creating flower compositions is ancient and dateless, the art  of creating flower mosaics on the streets is believed to have started  in Rome in 1625, when Benedetto Drei and his son Peter, used flower  petals to decorate the Vatican Basilica on the day of Saints Peter and  Paul's feast, the patron saints of Rome.   Later, baroque artist  and architect Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) spread this flower art  throughout Rome, using it for the baroque festivals he organized. The  custom disappeared out of Rome in the seventeenth century, but the  Castelli Romani townspeople continued to keep the traditions alive. in  1778, this tradition became part of the Christian celebration of Corpus  Domini in the town of Genzano where a brightly colored flower carpet was  laid down in the center of a long street. Eventually, various towns of  Italy began celebrating Corpus Domini by creating flower carpets.   Some  of the best towns to see the infiorata festival today are Noto, Spello,  Genzano, Bolsena, Brugnato, Orvieto, and the Abbey of Chiaravalle della  Colomba, near Fidenza. <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IB3y5Xgmj54/Vzmdp3qQ3uI/AAAAAAABNcU/9fum8rTuVng/infiorata-festival-italy-126.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-MW-tFU8SS48/VzmdraCEWKI/AAAAAAABNcY/d_pkhBdL6Zc/infiorata-festival-italy-12.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-EJl6uxVb8kI/VzmdshMZ0dI/AAAAAAABNcc/Z21LE7yJYWU/infiorata-festival-italy-42.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-6g4CntIJrBU/VzmduL6SMGI/AAAAAAABNcg/FqFa0-7fiRg/infiorata-festival-italy-52.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hl-3bKMs2YQ/VzmdviEmpfI/AAAAAAABNck/_nkaTGHwm8U/infiorata-festival-italy-62.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-iAlcO5xSzYg/Vzmdx7gcp0I/AAAAAAABNco/UfkYG_4xR6Y/infiorata-festival-italy-226.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TPPryX_Q4zg/Vzmd0AZN0GI/AAAAAAABNcs/xT8zLJQ6wDc/infiorata-festival-italy-72.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_WMj2Gb4e34/Vzmd1opESwI/AAAAAAABNcw/I_v-3S5laMc/infiorata-festival-italy-82.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rPiLm1aRqgM/Vzmd3xXLlHI/AAAAAAABNc0/--9OVTOiw10/infiorata-festival-italy-236.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-W3RcBAH7Y6Y/Vzmd5SUBPPI/AAAAAAABNc4/650e_S-cxXE/infiorata-festival-italy-92.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-BuU4ZuyaJPI/Vzmd7Y4Q2kI/AAAAAAABNc8/pDps2JoeEmY/infiorata-festival-italy-216.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
