Flowers in Bloom Festival

The Spring of Villa Faraldi

Flowers in Bloom is the spring event of Villa Faraldi, a small municipality in the Imperia hinterland overlooking the Gulf of Dianese. Organized by the Pro Loco dei Faraldi, the event combines wine tourism, art, and nature in a weekend that animates the village alleys with the colors of the season.

The Cellars among the Flowers Route

The heart of the festival is the Cellars among the Flowers Route, an itinerary along the village streets, open from 10 am to 6 pm, where you can find cellars with local wines, art exhibitions, and shops of local crafts. Along the route, vintage bicycles and floral arrangements create a suspended atmosphere, perfect for a leisurely stroll.

Art, Nature, and Workshops

The program is full of offerings: guided excursions and bike tours in the villages with a visit to the ethnographic museum of Tovo Faraldi, workshops for adults and children, porcelain painting demonstrations, meditation moments, and artistic interventions, such as the one on the mural "The Floral Cyclist". The backdrop is the aperitif in the piazza on the parvis of the church of San Lorenzo.

Villa Faraldi and the Gulf of Dianese

Villa Faraldi is one of the seven municipalities of the Gulf of Dianese, a land of olive trees, vineyards, and rural traditions. A village with a strong artistic vocation—it has hosted cultural events and artist residencies for decades—it offers with Flowers in Bloom an opportunity to discover the Imperia hinterland in its most authentic and creative dimension, away from the coastal beaches.
