The historical procession of the Contrade, the bursting of the cart, the flag-wavers' show: all the traditional events return to Piazza Ficino for Easter 2022 in Figline. After two years of suspension due to the pandemic, the Easter festivities calendar in fact rediscovers its historical formula, with many initiatives organised in the centre of Figline for Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 April
It begins on the afternoon of Holy Saturday, 16 April, with the dress rehearsal of the historical procession that, from 2.00 pm, will see the flag-wavers of the Florentine Borghi and Sestieri and the representatives of the four Contrade parade along the streets of Figline's historical centre, wearing the costumes and ornaments of the historical re-enactment. At 4 p.m., in Piazza Ficino, the big Easter egg will be opened, with chocolate being distributed to the children present.
There will also be a moment of solidarity: at 5 p.m., the historical procession of the Compagnia delle Contrade di Figline will move towards Casa Martelli, where a delegation of the Compagnia, the Flag-wavers and the Contrade will deliver Easter eggs made by the students of the Isis Vasari hotel school in Figline to the guests of the nursing home.
A basic Green Pass is compulsory to attend events on the square.
