After a long, joyful night of teamwork and laughter, this is the result: stunning floral carpets spreading through the streets of Palestrina, created to celebrate the Corpus Domini fest.

Each pattern is unique, blending local history, faith, and a lot of creativity. Designs are often sketched days in advance, but it’s only during these magical overnight hours that they come truly alive. The atmosphere buzzes with anticipation and the sweet scent of blossoms, as everyone races the sunrise to finish in time for the procession.
