Yesterday's festa Italiana at our office, with biscotti and wood-fired pizza, made me wish I was off in Italy this week enjoying all the festivals there. Among them, these—
Polenta Festival, the second Sunday in May, is celebrated in the main square of the Piedmont town of Avigliana.
La Barabbata is celebrated May 14 in Marta on the shores of Lake Bolsena. In this procession, men wear costumes representing the old trades and carry their tools while white buffalo pull floats carrying the fruits of the trades.
The Festa dei Ceri, a candle race and costumed parade in Gubbio takes place May 15 and is followed by a Historical Cross-Bow Exhibition on the last Sunday of May.
St. Rita's Procession and Candle Festival is May 21-22 in Cascia in Umbria.
Infiorata di Noto, a huge festival with flower petal art displays and a parade, takes place in Noto, Sicily, the third weekend of May.
The Flower Festival of Bucchianico in the Abruzzo includes a re-enactment of a 13th-century military stratagem with a parade, the third Sunday in May.
Pinocchio's Birthday is celebrated May 25 in the Tuscan town of Pescia. Pictures of Pinocchio Park in the village of Collodi, near Pescia.
