Leverano in Fiore is one of Italy’s most celebrated flower festivals, held annually in the picturesque town of Leverano, in the Puglia region. Each spring, the historic town center transforms into a breathtaking floral art gallery, with streets and squares adorned by spectacular flower installations, vibrant displays, and imaginative designs created by floral artists from around the world.
The event also features ArteFlorando, an international floral design competition that attracts top florists and teams from across Europe and beyond. With its deep connection to local culture, community pride, and the support of hundreds of growers, Leverano in Fiore has become a true symbol of floral creativity and Southern Italian hospitality.
Highlights:
Renowned ArteFlorando Floral Design Competition, led by the Ivan Bergh Floral School, where 130+ designers from around the world craft stunning installations in the streets of Leverano.
Themed in 2025 around the “Four Elements” — Fire, Earth, Wind & Water — installations explore creative interpretations of nature and emotion.
Thousands of flowers adorn alleys, historic buildings, and public squares, turning the city into a living and breathing floral canvas.
Local and international floral teams collaborate to decorate streets, compete, and enchant visitors — including teams from Ukraine, Latvia, Belgium, Greece, Poland, and beyond.
More than 300 local growers supply and support the event, showcasing Salento’s deep-rooted floral tradition.
