CUPRAMONTANA
On the day of Corpus Christi a floral
display is laid on the route of a religious
procession. School children make drawings
for these designs. Previously there was a
tradition that the children of the
Confraternita del Santissimo Sacramento
equipped with wicker baskets full of simple
flower petals from the countryside,
scattered them on the ground before the
procession of the Blessed Sacrament led
by the priest, passed. After the war, when
times were better and the economic and
civil life began to flourish again, willing and
artistic talents took the initiative to sort the
flowers into colour and place them on the
ground according to certain patterns.
