include the festival of aromatic

with the tone of lavender and car

An event that will share the in
terest of both Rome and Florence is
the gorgeous Festival Of the Dove,
to be held ct Orvieto, in the famed
Gothic masterpiece cathedral de-
signed by Lorenzo Maitani, which
ranks as the tourist attraction with
the Infiorata of GenZano, the cele-
bration framed by the magnificent
terraced villas and the scenic beauty
of the quaint village background.
The May festival of st. Nicholas at
the town of Myra is another pro-
cessional event which will this year
receive visitors attention.
A great number of the ancient
festivals dating from the Middle
Ages have of late years become a
curiosity in Rome, Naples and other
important cities. the smaller COM
munities reviving many of the
games, rituals and festivities of the
Renaissance with picturesque pomp
The extension of the holy year will
again allow many to witness these
celebrations.
