Travel To Italy and Experience an Amazing Site


I just got back from an amazing two-week trip to Italy with my mom and sister.  It was a once in a lifetime trip for the three of us and we savored every glorious moment.  I just had to write about one amazing experience that we never planned during our travels to Italy – the annual floral street art in Fucecchio, Tuscany.

Fucecchio is the Province of Florence and the village takes advantage of the Tuscan farms surrounding it.  The restaurants, wine cellars and Inns all offer local products and the municipality organizes loads of events to promote rural productions and traditional dishes.

But, what I wanted to write about is the annual event where this village puts together amazing pictures made from floral petals.  The complexity and difficulty of the pictures is absolutely astounding, especially when you consider that every inch of the picture is made from flower petals.  It was amazing to view these gorgeous floral pictures lying in the center of the village’s streets. 

Although it may be too late for you to witness this floral wonder this year, I highly recommend anyone who will be in the region during the end of May/beginning of June make there way to this village to witness this very special event.  In fact, the entire region of Tuscany is abuzz at this time of year as festivals take over piazzas as the locals celebrate pretty much everything imaginable like strawberries, tortelli, and even fried frogs!  Next time you travel to Italy, plan a stop in Tuscany and be sure to visit Fucecchio!
