Pilgrimage to the Sanctuary of La Madonna della Capanna
Updated May 14, 2007
In June the feast of Corpus Domini attracts many visitors to Itri, to view the colourful, decorative carpet of flowers, over which the traditional Corpus Domini procession passes. The designs depict scenes from the bible and messages of peace and brotherhood, and are painstakingly composed of thousands of individual flower petals.
It is well worth a visit.
