Here are the key elements you should know:<\/p>\n<h3>The Parade with Oxen and the Corteo Storico<\/h3>\n<p>In the morning, the <em>Brindellone<\/em> pulled by two festively decorated white oxen from the Prato district to the cathedral, accompanied by a <em>corteo storico<\/em> \u2013 a historical parade of drummers and flag-wavers (<em>flag-wavers<\/em>) and costume groups.<\/p>\n<h3>The Colombina in the Cathedral<\/h3>\n<p>During the solemn Easter Mass at Santa Maria del Fiore, at the \u201eGloria\u201c at the high altar, the <em>Colombina<\/em> ignites\u2014a small, rocket-powered dove. It zooms along a wire across the nave and out to the car.<\/p>\n<h3>The Explosion in the Piazza<\/h3>\n<p>When the dove hits the cart, it sets off the fireworks: for several minutes, sparks fly, firecrackers go off, and smoke rises above the piazza\u2014the spectacular climax of the festival.<\/p>\n<h3>The Good Omen and Its History<\/h3>\n<p>The tradition dates back to the crusader Pazzino de\u2018 Pazzi, who brought fragments of the Holy Sepulcher to Florence. A smooth flight path for the Colombina has always been considered a good omen for a bountiful harvest and a happy year.<\/p>\n<p><em>Insider tip: The best spots along the barrier fill up early. If you arrive around 9 a.m., you can watch the ox-drawn cart make its entrance in peace\u2014a photogenic moment that many people miss.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wie_kommst_du_nach_Florenz\"><\/span>How do you get to Florence?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Florence has excellent transportation connections. By <strong>Train<\/strong> You\u2019ll arrive at the central train station, Santa Maria Novella, just a few minutes\u2019 walk from the cathedral\u2014high-speed trains connect Florence directly to Rome (about 1.5 hours), Milan, and Venice. What\u2019s the fastest way to get to the action? On foot: From the train station, you can reach Piazza del Duomo in about ten minutes.<\/p>\n<p>With the <strong>Airplane<\/strong> If you land at the Florence-Peretola (Amerigo Vespucci) City Airport, about <strong>5 km<\/strong> is located away from the city center but is directly connected to it by the T2 tram line; Pisa (~85 km) is also an option. By the <strong>Car<\/strong> You can get there via the A1 (Bologna\u2013Rome) and A11.<\/p>\n<h3>Where's the best place to park in Florence?<\/h3>\n<p>The Old Town is a strict traffic-restricted zone (ZTL) with cameras\u2014do not drive into it under any circumstances. Use the parking garages on the outskirts, such as the one at the Fortezza da Basso or the Beccaria parking garage, and walk the last few meters. On Easter Sunday, additional road closures are in effect around the cathedral, so be sure to allow plenty of time.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_left wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GalleriadegliUffizi.webp\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"Colonnade in the courtyard of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence\" title=\"Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence, Tuscany \u00a9shutterstock.com\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GalleriadegliUffizi.webp 1920w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GalleriadegliUffizi-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GalleriadegliUffizi-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GalleriadegliUffizi-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GalleriadegliUffizi-18x10.webp 18w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GalleriadegliUffizi-750x422.webp 750w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GalleriadegliUffizi-1140x641.webp 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/div><figcaption class=\"vc_figure-caption\">The courtyard of the Uffizi Gallery \u00b7 \u00a9 shutterstock.com<\/figcaption>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Florenz_entdecken_%E2%80%93_die_Stadt_rund_um_das_Fest\"><\/span>Discover Florence \u2013 The City Through Its Festivals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Florence is an open-air museum of the Renaissance.
