Mandorlo in Fiore - Agrigento - 2007

Coming soon, pictures from the 2008 Mandorlo in Fiore

These pictures were all taken in February 2007 at the Mandorlo in Fiore Festival in Agrigento Sicily. Mandorlo in Fiore translates as almond in flower or almond blossom. The festival started in a town called Naro in 1934 as a showcase for farmers to promote their products. In 1937 it moved to its current location in Agrigento. Folk groups now attend from all over the world. To read a full history of the tournament, visit the official website.
