The flower carpet is laid along Via Corrado Nicolaci, a sloping street lined with the carved balconies of Palazzo Nicolaci and closed at the top by the church of Montevergine. Noto can be reached by car, by regional train or by Interbus and AST buses from Syracuse (about 35\u201355 minutes) and Catania; from the railway station it is a 15\u201320-minute uphill walk to the historic centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The festival was first held in 1980, when flower artists from Genzano di Roma were invited to Noto, and it has since become one of Italy\u2019s best-known floral events. Each year local and guest artists cover the 122-metre street with 16 large panels made of about 400,000 petals, seeds and leaves: some 700 square metres of flower mosaics on a single theme. The 47th edition in 2026 was dedicated to the pop culture of the 20th century. The event attracts tens of thousands of visitors, and a costumed Baroque procession with flag-wavers parades along Corso Vittorio Emanuele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Infiorata di Noto is held on the third weekend of May and lasts from Friday to Tuesday. The artists draw and fill the panels at the start of the festival, and the finished carpet stays on show over the weekend and the following days. In 2026 it ran from 15 to 19 May; the next edition is expected on 14\u201318 May 2027, with the exact dates still to be confirmed by the town of Noto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prezzi e orari di apertura<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Entry to Via Nicolaci requires a ticket. In 2026 it cost \u20ac5 (plus a \u20ac0.80 fee when bought online) and \u20ac3 for school groups; children under 12, visitors with disabilities and their companions, and residents of Noto entered free. Tickets are sold online and at the municipal Info Point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Durante la festa la strada \u00e8 aperta dalle 9:00 alle 2:00 di notte. Il momento migliore per la visita \u00e8 la mattina presto, quando le composizioni floreali sono fresche, oppure la sera tardi, quando la strada \u00e8 illuminata e meno affollata.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/infiorata-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"14220\" src=\"https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/infiorata-2-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Primo piano di un ritratto fatto di petali sul tappeto dell\u2019Infiorata di Noto\" class=\"wp-image-14220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/infiorata-2-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/infiorata-2-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/infiorata-2-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/infiorata-2-1536x960.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/infiorata-2-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/infiorata-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"641\" data-id=\"14221\" src=\"https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/infiorata-3-1024x641.jpg\" alt=\"Via Nicolaci a Noto ricoperta dal tappeto di fiori dell\u2019Infiorata, con lo stemma della citt\u00e0 in primo piano\" class=\"wp-image-14221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/infiorata-3-1024x641.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/infiorata-3-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/infiorata-3-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/infiorata-3-1536x961.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/infiorata-3-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>L\u2019Infiorata di Noto \u00e8 una festa dei fiori che si tiene ogni anno in Sicilia: nel terzo fine settimana di maggio un tappeto di petali ricopre via Nicolaci, nella Noto barocca.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14219,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1033,995,387,965],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14001","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sicily","category-entertainment","category-events","category-italy"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14001","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14001"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14001\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17026,"href":"https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14001\/revisions\/17026"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14219"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14001"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14001"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14001"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
