Contemporary Art Invades Noto's Infiorata with New Satellite Event
In 2025, the Infiorata di Noto, a floral carpet event rooted in Genzano since 1980, will introduce a contemporary art satellite event for the first time. Scheduled from May 16 to 20, the main Infiorata, themed "La Pace si fa Arte" and led by Valentina Mammana, will showcase sixteen floral designs along Via Corrado Nicolaci, benefiting from a new irrigation system installed in 2024. Concurrently, the Fuori Infiorata, designed by Alessia Montani and Luigi Grasso and curated by Andrea Guastella, will take place from May 17 to 20 in Noto and Val di Noto, featuring artists such as Michelangelo Pistoletto and Fulvio Merolli. Additionally, Palazzo Trigona di Canicarao will present "Neppure con un fiore," displaying works by various artists, alongside talks, guided tours, and a cycling event.
