About Infiorata di Noale

On the occasion of the Corpus Domini solemnity, Noale dresses in petals with the Infiorata, the evocative ephemeral art that transforms the streets of the historic centre into floral carpets. Created by the infioratori (flower carpet artists) from the contrade (districts) together with the Gruppo Tempesta, the main artwork stretches for over 30 metres in front of the Clock Tower. With bell concerts, workshops for children, inclusive activities, and the solemn procession, the Infiorata di Noale is a tradition nominated for UNESCO recognition, weaving together faith, art, and community.

Petals and devotion

The Infiorata del Corpus Domini is the tradition that, on the occasion of the Corpus Domini solemnity, transforms the historic centre of Noale, in the province of Venice, into a mosaic of floral carpets. A form of ephemeral art made entirely with petals and natural materials, destined to last for the duration of the religious festival.

An artwork over 30 metres long

The heart of the event is the large floral carpet that stretches out in front of the pronaos of the Clock Tower, over 30 metres long. It is created by the infioratori from the contrade and the Gruppo Tempesta, along with about a hundred volunteers who work for hours on the composition, often dedicated to a theme of the year.

An inclusive festival

A rich programme unfolds around the flower carpet: bell concerts, the "Madonnari for a day" initiative for children, the "Beyond the visible" activity designed for the blind, and the solemn procession with the Noale Philharmonic Band. The event is promoted by the Pro Loco (local tourism board) in collaboration with the contrade.

Towards UNESCO recognition

The art of the infiorata, of which Noale is a recognised interpreter, is a candidate for UNESCO recognition: the Noale group has also been invited to participate in the Infiorata of Rome in St. Peter's Square. For those visiting the Veneto region, the Infiorata di Noale is an opportunity to admire a floral masterpiece and breathe in the atmosphere of a festival that unites faith, art, and community identity.
