Peter in Rome and has now evolved in the meaning as 'being decorated with flowers.
" Many cities in Italy turn their roads into vibrant meadows by using petals of various colors as their paint.
A chalk is used to outline or draw the artist's pattern and then soil is carefully added to it to leave no chalk marks behind before putting on the colorful pertals.
One of the famous flower festivals which is a pride of the Italian flag is the Infiorata di Noto.
Few days before the Infiorata di Noto, the Corrolado Nicolaci street of Noto, Sicily was a plain artist's canvas but on the actual event, with millions of petals, seeds and other dried materials arranged in a mosaic manner, the street now becomes an art masterpiece.
Simulating the designs and style of a rosette glass windows of churches which entice church goers to attend Mass, these colorful streets entice tourists as well to go to this city in Italy.
The Infiorata di Noto Festival is usually held on the third week of May where artists, after meticulously working on their patterns will let them be displayed for three days from Friday to Sunday, and after that, they can be walked or run over by young ones.
