Events in Umbria 2007- Infiorata di Spello - floral decorations |
|
| |
|
The "floral decorations" are floral compositions representing liturgical figurations and ornamental motifs. The preparations require weeks of work but the compositions are completed with fresh flowers during the course of a single night. By using only strongly scented flowers and grasses, figures and ornamental motifs of brilliant colours and subtle shades are obtained. The floral decorations are the chef-d'oeuvre of Spello's artistic creativity and, with their colours and fragrances, create a highly evocative sight in the streets of the city.

Umbria Jazz winter 2007 from the 28th of december to the 1st january 2008 -
In OrvietoThe primary focus of the Umbria Jazz Winter Festival in Orvieto—now in its 15th year—is the country’s solid jazz tradition, arguably the best example of jazz having come of age as a global music artform.With music starting at afternoon and continuing through the early morning hours, part of what makes this five-day festival so unique is the fact that most artists perform throughout its duration (in some cases at more than one venue, too). Concert-goers are afforded ample opportunity to pick and choose from each day’s activities (there are occasional overlapping showtimes) and to catch a group or musician one otherwise may regret having missed. The programming also allows for return listens to musicians and groups that one might have a particular fondness for and prefer to hear more than once. Also, unlike many so-called “jazz” festivals (particularly here stateside), only a limited number of non-jazz acts perform, and rarely as headliners. |
