Witnesses of hope, the theme of the Jubilee, is the guiding thread of the eighth edition of the infiorata of Santo Stefano Medio. For two days, Saturday and last Sunday, the village of the valley turned into a large mosaic of beauty, immersed between geometries, colors and perfumes that tell the devotion, the spirit of aggregation and the link of a community with the territory. The initiative organized under the patronage of the Municipality to celebrate the patron saint, Santa Maria dei Giardini, has become an event of great tourist attraction over time. To mark the path in the alleys of the historic center, including rugs of flowers, installations, drapes and ancient banners, the various artistic paintings made with colored rooms, chips, rice, carnations and spontaneous vegetation, made with commitment by the inhabitants of the village led by the parish priest Don Matteo Culletta.
