Borgo San Lorenzo, Tuscany, Italy., February 26, 2013 - (PressReleasePoint) - 

Easter is one of the best occasions to visit Tuscany.

This National Holiday has a special meaning to Italian: just Christmas can be more important.
 
Easter (Pasqua, in Italian) always falls after the first spring full moon, so in this period the mild climate is pleasant enough to  make delightful to wander between breathtaking hill towns and scenery.
 
Italians commemorate Jesus Christ’s resurrection from death but also represents the renewal of life that Springtime announces.
Many traditional events take place during the Holy Week: days before Easter in Italy include solemn processions and masses, but Sunday rites are joyful, as it happens in Florence. Here the 'Burst of the Carriage' (Scoppio del Carro, in Italian) is one of the most interesting Italian Easter celebrations, since blends the Christian rite into the pagan tradition. The Holy fires comes in front of the main church Santa Maria del Fiore in Piazza del Duomo on a carriage hauled by six white Ox. Than a special fuse called ‘colombina’ (dove) fires the carriage and if the “explosion” (fireworks) is well done, Florentins say it will be a good year for the city.
