This festival, also known as "festival of the flowers", happens only every 5 years and is a solemn celebration known in every part of Italy, which silhouettes against the wonderful island of Iseo Lake: Monteisola. Carzano and Novale, two small medieval villages, are decorated with arches covered by pine branches and paper-made flowers, which are hand-made by the local inhabitants.
