As spring unfolds its vibrant colours, the charming town of Leverano in Italy's Salento region prepares to host the much-anticipated "Leverano in Fiore" festival. Scheduled from May 31 to June 2, 2025, the historic centre is set to transform into a breathtaking open-air garden.
Leverano, often hailed as the "City of Flowers," has over 400 enterprises, making it a pivotal hub in Italy's floral industry. This deep-rooted connection to flowers is more than just an economic strength—it’s a tradition passed down like flower after flower, from generation to generation.
"Leverano in Fiore" is more than a festival; it symbolizes this connection with the town’s roots, embodying the message of "AMA!"—an imperative to love. Love for traditions, love for diversity, and love for the little things that make every place unique. Each floral display, each artistic installation, and each shared moment celebrates this spirit of inclusion and passion.
