Dal 13 al 23 Giugno 2019, l’appuntamento è a Spello per “Le Infiorate”, che si svolgono come ogni anno in occasione della festività del Corpus Domini (la nona domenica dopo Pasqua).
Il caratteristico borgo attira ogni anno centinaia di visitatori che giungono da ogni parte d’Italia e del mondo per ammirare le splendide “Infiorate”, i tappeti e quadri di fiori. Nel percorso floreale cittadino sono generalmente realizzate circa 70 infiorate, con tappeti tra i 12 e i 15 metri di lunghezza e quadri con dimensioni variabili tra i 25 e i 90 mq.
Una caratteristica unica della manifestazione è la scelta di utilizzare esclusivamente elementi vegetali non trattati da agenti chimici e conservanti, nè con coloranti artificiali. Uno spettacolo magnifico e profumato, che riempe di meraviglia e ammirazione!
>> Prendi parte alle Infiorate e riempiti gli occhi della meraviglia e dei colori dei superbi tappeti floreali realizzati a Spello! Noi ti consigliamo i migliori agriturismi della zona
Speciale Infiorate a Spello
Le infiorate vengono realizzate alla vigilia della festa, con l’esecuzione dei disegni e l’opera certosina di deposito e posizionamento di milioni e milioni di fiori e petali variopinti.
La preparazione delle Infiorate è la fase più interessante e viva dell’evento: inizia nel primo pomeriggio del sabato – con l’allestimento delle protezioni e con la creazione o la riproduzione dei disegni sulle sezioni di manto stradale assegnate a ciascun gruppo – e si protrae per tutta la notte, quando gli “infioratori” dispongono con la massima precisione i petali sui disegni.
Eppure, il lavoro di preparazione è un processo che dura in realtà tutto l’anno, con le fasi preliminari della ricerca e raccolta dei fiori seguite dalla mondatura, la selezione e conservazione dei petali, separati per colore.
Nella stagione primaverile in particolare, squadre di “infioratori” di Spello si mobilitano per attraversare i campi e le vallate dell’Appennino umbro-marchegiano, in particolare in prossimità del Monte Subasio, e raccogliore i petali dei fiori necessari.
Le specie floreali utilizzate nelle infiorate sono numerosissime: fiordaliso, rosa, garofano, papavero, finocchio, veccia, iris, ginestra, sambuco, margherita, tarassico, cardo, serputello, planzago, viscaria, salvia, linaria, calendula, anemone, cicirilli, magnolia, cipollone, gaggia, fico, quercia, noce, cipresso, pino, orchidea selvatica.
Alle ore 11 di domenica 23 Giugno, la processione del Corpus Domini inizierà il suo percorso attraverso le vie cittadine. Dopo il passaggio del Corteo guidato dal Vescovo, sulle bellissime infiorate scorre dunque la processione. I preziosi tappeti possono ora essere calpestati e si dissolvono nell’aria.
>> Assistere alla creazione dei quadri e tappeti floreali delle Infiorate è uno spettacolo unico, non perderlo! Consulta ora gli hotel, b&b e agriturismi della zona e prenota le tue vacanze a Spello

The picturesque town annually attracts hundreds of visitors who come from all over Italy and world to admire the splendid “Infiorate”, that means carpets and paintings of flowers. Along the floreal city path, about 70 “Infiorate” are generally made, with carpets between 12 and 15 meters of lenght and pictures with a size between 25 and 90 square meters.
A unique characteristic of the event is the choice of using only vegetable items, not treated by chemicals products or preservatives, nor artificial dyes. A magnificent and fragrant show, which fills with wonder and admiration!

Special Infiorate of Spello
The floral decorations are made on the eve of the festival, with the execution of the drawings and the painstaking work of deposit and placement of millions and millions of colorful flowers and petals.
The preparation of Infiorate is the most interesting part of the event: it starts in the early afternoon of Saturday – with the staging of the protections and the creation or reproduction of drawings on pavement sections assigned to each group – and it lasts throughout the night, when the “infioratori” (the ones who make the floral decorations) arrange with the maximum precision the petals on the drawings.
And yet they have worked at the preparation of decorations for all the year, with the preliminary stages of research and collection of flowers, followed by selecting and preserving of petals, separated by color.
In particular for the Spring season, teams of “infioratori” from Spello are mobilizing to cross fields and valley of the Umbrian Apennine, especially near to Subasio Mount, and to pick up the petals of flowers needed.
The species of flowers used for the “Infiorate” are numerous: cornflower, rose, carnation, poppy, fennel, iris, broom, elder, daisy, dandelion, thistle, sage, marigold, anemone, magnolia , turnip, sweet acacia, fig, oak, walnut, cypress, pine, wild orchid…
At 11 a.m. on Sunday 23rd June, the procession will begin its journey through the city streets. After the passage of the procession led by the Bishop, the procession runs on the beautiful floral decorations. The precious carpets can be now be trampled and they dissolve in the air.
>> Looking at the creation of floral carpets and pictures is a unique show, do not miss it! Choose your hotel, b&b or farmhouses between our suggestions for your holiday in the area of Spello
