(Third Sunday in May First Sunday in June)

 For several years in May, dedicated to the Devotion of the Virgin Mary, the steps (known as the Scala) offer another particular show when they are embellished with flowers or Infiorata.

 Thousands of vases with plants and flowers in various colors and shades make up a unique design to honor the Madonna of Conadomini, which is also the namesake of the very old church located at the summit of the Scala, whose folklore festival includes a traditional parade called A Rusedda

( a wild plant from the near Saint Peter½s Wood used to be both harvested by peasants to be offered to the Madonna and  by ceramic crafters to feed their furnaces in exchange for a little donation to the church) that concludes the festivities on May 31st.
