The floral carpet of Corpus Domini in the historic centre of Noale
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.
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.
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.
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.
The 2026 edition of the Infiorata del Corpus Domini takes place on June 6 and 7 in Noale (VE) and is dedicated to the 800th anniversary of Saint Francis' death.
The main floral carpet, titled "On the footsteps of Francis" and over 30 metres long, is set up at the pronaos of the Clock Tower by the infioratori from the contrade and the Gruppo Tempesta. The Noale group has also been invited to participate in the Infiorata of Rome in St. Peter's Square on June 28-29.
