Pienza & i Fiori

From May 3 to 18, the town of Pienza will be transformed into a riot of colors and scents with the 38ᵗʰ edition of “Pienza e i Fiori”.

Piazza Pio II will host a Renaissance garden created by Pro Loco volunteers. This year, the garden theme is inspired by Venus, goddess of beauty and love, a symbol of harmony and perfection.
