Festa di Fiori



Last week it was l'Eroica.


This week it was Festa di Fiori...Festival of Flowers...in Pienza.


It seems as if nearly every house, every business, dressed up its front steps, just for the occasion.









Even the old cistern in the main piazza, which supplied water to the town in the 1400's, was re-purposed for the occasion.


While it is not a grand event, it is pretty...


...and it helps build community in ways that we often overlook back home.


Enjoy the pictures!












Not all the flowers were cultivated.































This rosebush has grown 10 feet tall.




























Even our friend Sal(vatore) Amander enjoyed all the flowers.




May our garden at home grow so nicely.
