Acquapendente, Lazio. The Pugnaloni are large mosaics of flowers and leaves (2.60 meters wide and 3.60 meters in height) made in honor of the Madonna del Fiore, which is celebrated every year on the third Sunday of May.
This festival is ancient - the origins date back to 1166 when Acquapendente rebelled against the tyranny of Frederick I Barbarossa, destroying the castle , a symbol of imperial power. The petals or whole flowers of species that have been proven to be more resistant are glued to keep the freshness and color. Different techniques in overlapping leaves and flowers lead to the execution of real floral mosaics. Each pugnalone is designed and executed by a group of youths who belong to different districts, or contrade, in Acquapendente.
