For the Feast of Saint Agatha, patron saint of Catania, baroque candelore - traditional gilded artifacts carved in wood - are carried during the parade in Piazza del Duomo and Piazza Stesicoro. The traditional passage of the Carrozza del Senato (the Senate carriage) starts the celebration. A fascinating glimpse of the firework shows, with firecrackers and fireworks filling the air with smoke and candelore on sight.
