Petals of Devotion: Infiorata in Pescasseroli

A delicate and colorful series of photographs documenting the Infiorata in Pescasseroli, where streets are transformed into vivid floral carpets to celebrate Corpus Domini. Against the backdrop of this mountain town, nestled in the Abruzzo National Park, the images capture the quiet dedication of the community as they meticulously compose intricate designs from petals, leaves, and natural pigments.
From the early morning preparations to the solemn religious procession that passes over the ephemeral artwork, the photographs trace a ritual of faith, patience, and collective artistry. Children, elders, and volunteers work side by side, blurring the lines between sacred tradition and shared civic pride.
Petals of Devotion reveals a fleeting beauty—fragile yet rooted in history—where nature, spirituality, and human hands come together in a powerful visual harmony.
