There\u2019s an event on Lake Iseo that happens only once every five years, but it leaves a lasting mark on the heart. It\u2019s called the Festa di Santa Croce<\/em>, also affectionately known as the Festa dei Fiori<\/em>, and it turns the villages of Carzano and Novale on Monte Isola into an open-air masterpiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For seven days, from September 8 to 14, 2025, the narrow alleys of the island will be adorned with thousands of handcrafted paper flowers, made with passion by local residents. It\u2019s an explosion of color and fragrance, a symbol of an ancient promise to the Holy Cross, still celebrated today with devotion, artistry, and love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The highlight of the event is the solemn evening procession on September 14. But the magic unfolds each and every day, from dusk until dawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To fully enjoy the event without stress and to immerse yourself in its beauty, the best choice is to stay right by the lake, just minutes from the island, in a place where hospitality is an art form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
