Artist Maria G. Pisano will give a lecture presentation on L’Infiorata, a Show of Flowers at Dorothea’s House on Sunday, March 5 at 5 p.m.

The word “infiorata” literally means “decorated with flowers.” For the Infiorata, carpets of flowers are created for the feast of Corpus Domini throughout Italy. These ephemeral creations are experienced for only one day of the year. In her presentation, Pisano will showcase the participants’ preparation of the design and flowers, and talk about the devotion of the participating communities.

Pisano is a book artist, curator, and educator whose work has been exhibited nationally and internationally.

Dorothea’s House is located at 120 John Street in Princeton. The lecture is free and open to the public. Doors open at 4:45 p.m. Seating is limited and programs frequently fill to capacity. Participants are encouraged to bring refreshments to share at the reception following the program.
