The explosion of the cart is a special Eastern ritual that takes place in Florence every year on Holy Sunday.
Drummers, Florentine officials, and other people dressed in historical costumes and holding flags follow a cart which is pulled by a pair of oxen decorated with flowery garlands.
A unique firework display that traditionally dates back to the end of the 14th century also takes place.
There are also many special dishes to enjoy in Florence during Easter. Of the delicious desserts, you should try the Colomba which is a cake shaped like a dove covered in icing and almonds, with candied fruit inside.
