The ancient Fair of Our Lady of Sorrows, or Feast of the Fisci\u00f2t, returns!<\/p>\n
Belluno celebrates the arrival of spring with the ancient festival of Our Lady of Sorrows, a sacred celebration and a moment of leisure and gathering for everyone.
The festival has ancient origins: since 1716, the statue of Our Lady of Seven Sorrows, commissioned by the people of Belluno to celebrate the end of a plague, is carried in procession through the historic center.<\/p>\n
Alongside the religious moment, there is a playful one: throughout the central area, more than 200 vendors are present with stalls of sweets, toys, glass items, ceramics, wood and fabric products, costume jewelry, knick-knacks, paintings, records and cassettes, wicker crafts, copper, glasses, essences and aromatic herbs, honey, leather goods, umbrellas, scarves, balloons, food, and drinks.<\/p>\n
Piazza Duomo hosts the flower market. Also in Piazza Duomo and nearby Piazza delle Erbe, the antiques market “Cose di vecchie case” returns, anticipating its summer return.<\/p>\n
The Festival is also called “Feast of the Fisci\u00f2t<\/b> <\/i>– whistling toys – because once these were among the best-selling items made by local artisans who handcrafted them in many shapes.<\/p>\n
