Dolo in Fiore (Dolo in Bloom) on May 1st has now become a regular appointment at the town’s pedestrian area called Isola Bassa, one of Dolo’s most peculiar areas.
It’s a flower and vegetable market where stalls display flowers, plants and gardening supplies. There is also an extensive organic market that offers a large selection of products aimed for those who wish t make healthier food choices.
Century-old buildings such as the Squero Monumentale, the mills or the river – claims Marina Zuin, event coordinator – make for an evocative and unique backdrop that every May 1st livens up thanks to the wonderful fragrances of flowers and plants that add a touch of colour to Dolo’s historical centre.
The traditional Flower Show is a must-see for locals or tourists with a green thumb as it’s the perfect time to purchase plants and flowers and to fully experience the vibrant atmosphere created by the nomerous restaurats, exhibitions and the rowing show of the traditional Voga alla Veneta.
