The Cantamaggio floats paraded through the streets of the center of Terni defying the uncertain weather and a few drops of rain that fell an hour before the start of the event which made the organizers fear the worst. However, time held out in the end. The temperature was pleasant and thousands of people crowded the streets of the centre. As always, testimony to the vitality of the event now in its 128th edition. We can say that Cantamaggio overcomes the weight of the years and challenges the future.
In the lead is the Cart from the San Giovanni district “Lu giardinu de maggiu”. Designed by the Maggiaiolo San Giovanni group and dedicated to children playing in the middle of a flower garden
Cart number 2 in the Pallotta-Polymer-Sabbione neighborhood is titled “Maggiaiola Utopia”, vaguely reminiscent of the Star Wars saga. Designed by Giuseppina Libera, it dreams of a different and better future, perhaps on the moon
The float number 3 of Montecastrilli, inspired by the protection of nature, is entitled “Earth day is everdyday”, that is, earth day is every day. Subtitle “If we kill them we will die too”. The specific reference is to bees and butterflies. The project is by the Maceole theater group
Chariot number 4 is that of Cesi entitled “Friendly Nature – Friendly Countryside”. The festival of spring, May has arrived. Conceived and designed by Sandrina Bianconi and Roberto Farinelli
Chariot number 5 is by Arrone and is titled “N Infinite Spring”. It allegorically invites respect for the fundamental values of life. Designed by Daniele Aiani
Cart number 6, the last one, is from the “Lu Riacciu” group, it is entitled “50 years of ‘n’amore ‘nfinitu”, of two donkeys, Giggetto and Rosetta, an inspiration for today’s young people who, from “dunces” of the time learned mutual respect and dedication. The project is by Alfonso Lauro.
Closing the parade of floats is the usual float with penne al sugo, also from the Lu Riacciu group.
The floats can be admired from this morning in Piazza Europa, Piazza della Repubblica and the Palazzo Pierfelici car park.
