Caltagirone (Catania) - La scala infiorata (The Scala Flower Festival)

29 April - 1 June

The Scala Flower Festival, an annual celebration held as a tribute to Our Lady of Conadomini, patron and protector of the city of Caltagirone, features about two thousand potted plants and flowers of different shades and colors arranged on the historic staircase of Santa Maria del Monte to create one grand design. Built in the early 17th century and undoubtedly Caltagirone’s most evocative sight, the monumental staircase showcases 142 steps, each uniquely decorated with hand-painted majolica tiles
