EASTER SUNDAY ITALY STYLE


Although we overslept completely unaware of the time change on Easter, we sped across Florence just in time to see smoke rising from the explosion of the cart outside in the Piazza del Duomo. 1000's of spectators hoard into the Piazza every year for the last 500 years to watch the fireworks display. Hundreds of soldiers, musicians and others in 15th century clothing escort the 2 white oxen that pull the exploded cart across the city. Without a doubt one of the most interesting places to be during Catholic Easter.
