Many townspeople, from the oldest to the youngest, have worked, at their own expense, to create alternative vases, small artefacts – including bikes, trains, giant hearts, wheels and colored windows – using poor or recycled material , transforming the streets into floral works of art.
To give all citizens the opportunity to enjoy this wonder, the “Le Strade dei Fiori” association has organized a walk through the fifteen streets, scheduled for Friday 10 May at 6.00 pm from Piazzetta Fratelli Bandiera (meeting point Gran Bar Conte – Corso Vittorio Emanuele, 17). The route will unfold in the following order: Bertani court, Galliani arch, via Mozzicugno, via San Giorgio, Lucertola court, San Pietro Nuovo, Vico Storto, via Giacomo Antonio Giannone, De Ilderis court, via Sant’Andrea, via del Sasso, Val Carceri court, via S. Antuono and Mormorio court, Auricarecta court, S. Lucia court (“Traetta” theater area).
The route shown here (https://maps.app.goo.gl/vvheibLC7UdCJEQ78) will have a net duration of 27 minutes for one kilometer and 800 meters and is suitable for everyone.
For the occasion, the jury will also be present, composed of the mayor Francesco Paolo Ricci, the president of the “Le Strade dei Fiori” association Michele Castellano and representatives of the local media: they will evaluate the creations taking into consideration criteria such as architectural impact, originality, artistic imagination, quantity of plants and love for flowers.
The most beautiful street will be named the “X Road of Flowers” on May 11th, at 5pm, in the Cathedral’s Episcopio, and other prizes offered by the partners and sponsors of the competition will be awarded.
