Genzano is a little town on the edge of a volcanic lake called “Lago di Nemi”. It has a nice small historical center with tiny alleys and cobbled streets, a massive palace from 18th century and a beautiful view over the lake. But the main reason why you want to go there is the “Infiorata di Genzano”. It’s a religious event happening every year during Corpus Domini celebration, in June, and lasting from Saturday to Monday. Its peculiarity is that one of the main street of the town is covered with 13 carpets of flowers representing religious or civil scenes. During the last day the event is ending with a parade in traditional costumes, after which kids are allowed to destroy the carpets, and starting a petal fight!
