Come and see it in Florence on Easter Sunday.

Easter in Florence has a very special tradition: in the Duomo square, under the Brunelleschi’s Dome , you can live the ancient tradition of the “Explosion of the Cart“, one of the most fascinating and exciting historical, folkloristic and religious events in Tuscany. At eleven, from the main altar of the Cathedral, the “COLOMBINA” (a mechanical dove) that, bringing the sacred fire that Pazzino de Pazzi carried back to Florence from Jesus’s tomb at the end of the First Crusade, fires the cart (a medieval structure) as a sign of joy for the Christ’s Resurrection and as good omen for the Spring/Summer crop. The Exlosion of the Cart is preceded by a costume parade led by the “gonfalone” of Florence and the Pazzi’s family flag.
