SPELLO (PG)

CORPUS CHRISTI FLORAL DECORATIONS (10 of june)The “floral decorations” are floral compositions representing liturgical figurations and ornamental motifs The preparations require weeks of work but the compositions are completed with fresh flowers during the course of a single night.By using only strongly scented flowers and grasses, figures and ornamental motifs of brilliant colours and subtle shades are obtained.

The floral decorations are the masterpiece of Spello’s artistic creativity and, , with their colours and fragrances, create a highly evocative sight in the streets of the city.

BEVAGNA:

THE FAIR OF THE “GAITE”(16-17 of June)This is a faithful revisitation of daily life in the Middle Ages .Along the streets and in the intriguing nooks of medieval Bevagna, the inhabitants of the four “Gaite” (town wards) vie with one another in recreating the typical workshops, inns and markets of those times.Shows, concerts, exhibitions and conferences, together with an archery contest, concur in enlivening still further the animated evenings.Traditional craftwork is however the focal point of the fair.In the cramped, dimly – lit workshops , skilled master-artisans devise exclusive objects using the original medieval technique .

PERUGIA:

UMBRIA JAZZ (6-15 Luglio)Launched in 1973, today is one of the most important jazz events in
Europe.It has in its time hosted the greatest modern jazz musicians.The event lasts ten full days; a hundred or so concerts take place from morning to night among the ancient buildings in the historic centre of
