A carpet of flowers that transforms the historic center of Noto into pure wonder: experience the Infiorata among art, fragrances, and Sicilian magic.

 

The Infiorata of Noto

THE INFOIRATA OF NOTO RETURNS IN 2026: THE THEME IS “POP CULTURE”

From May 15 to 19, 2026, the historic center of Noto transforms into an open-air work of art. Colors, fragrances, and tradition fill the Baroque streets of the most elegant city in southeastern Sicily.

The Infiorata of Noto is one of the most important floral events in Italy. Every year, Italian and international artists create spectacular flower-petal artworks along Via Nicolaci, in the heart of Noto’s historic center. Established in the 1980s, it has become an international event capable of bringing together art, culture, and Sicilian tradition.

For the next edition, a theme with strong visual and symbolic impact has been chosen: “Pop Culture”. An artistic and emotional journey through icons, music, contemporary languages, and creative avant-gardes that have revolutionized the art world and influenced entire generations.

A modern narrative that, through the ephemeral art of flowers, will create a dialogue between tradition and modernity, celebrating the collective imagination that has shaped fashion, society, communication, and lifestyle. An Infiorata that looks to the present without renouncing its historical identity, confirming Noto as one of the most fascinating cultural stages in the Mediterranean.
