From April 3 to April 6, 2010

 

At Easter come to Florence for an unforgettable stay at Ars Hotels Firenze structures!

You can enjoy monuments and museums that make Florence one of the most famous and visited city of the world, and in this period you can also assist to a singular florentine tradition: The Exploding of the Cart! The event’ll take place under the famous dome of Brunelleschi, at eleven o’clock when a LITTLE DOVE (wooden reproduction of the Dove, Easter symbol) run from the altar of the Duomo of Florence suspended in the nave of the cathedral until Carro Medeioevale that will be in the square in front of the Baptistery. If the Columbine manages to ignite the fireworks put on the wagon, Easter brings with him the good wishes of prosperity. “The outbreak of the Chariot” is in fact an event that evokes the evolution of Pazzino Pazzi who reported from Jerusalem, the sacred fire of the Holy Sepulcher, as a sign of joy for the resurrection of Jesus and bodes well for the crop during the spring / summer.

Before the event, the streets of Florence comes alive with the passage of the Historical Parade Fiorentino, and the sky with the tint of the city is enlivened by the Florentine flag-waving games of Florentines.

Ars Hotels Firenze offers you for this time of special offers and packages not to be missed in its hotels!
