A traditional festival in Orvieto that takes place on Pentecost Day (generally in the spring time). According to this old religious event, introduced in 1404 by the noble local Monaldeschi family, a white dove, representing the descent of the “Holy Spirit” flies in a special carrier from the beautiful Via Maitani to the Duomo square, just in front of the cathedral.
During this celebration, the beautiful Piazza del Duomo hosts hundreds of people to celebrate this important Catholic feast in Orvieto. Together with this religious event in Orvieto there is also another contemporary event called Orvieto in Fiore with several thematic events along the city decorated with flowers.
