The flower floats are the protagonists of the event and of the parade held on Sunday through the streets of the city. True works of art parade through the city streets: the floats are of considerable size, with three-dimensional subjects relating to the theme of the year and with attention to the smallest details. The whole work, which appears as if painted, is in reality completely covered with flower corollas, "fixed" in a mosaic, of great freshness and colour. Groups of twenty to fifty people work on each wagon in special sheds located in various parts of the city for approximately three months. On Sunday afternoon, the big float parade takes place in the center of the city. During the event, a real flower fight takes place between the public and the people on the floats: hundreds of thousands of flowers are thrown.
