The Spello Infiorata - street tapestries made from flower petals (??) - Sunday June18 2006. It is not actually clear what the tapestry materials are as they are all cut to a small particle size and the colours seem to extend to a broader colour spectrum than one would find in flowers even in Italy! It was also noticeable that whilst the pervasive smell was organic, it was certainly not the honey smell of broom, or the sweet smell of roses, and in fact in Dom P's view was not attractive. |

The challenge was that half of Umbria had descended on the narrow streets of Spello to have a sneaky beak. The car parks were full by 9, and the streets themselves had reduced people carrying capacity being as how they were full of large tapestries !!
A far cry from the two Cistercian abbeys below where crowding was the last thing on one's mind, and the pervasive smell was that of roses and broom. Interesting also that the abbeys used whole petals and pieces of greenery, thus generating much deeper and more varied textural effects. |
