 A flying archbishop and a nail |
Piazza del Duomo Piazza del Duomo Milan 20151 Italy +39 2 7202 2656 |
If the sight of an archbishop flying through the air in Milan's magnificent Duomo sounds bizarre, then you won't want to miss the surreal spectacle that is La Festa della Nivola. The floating archbishop's goal is to recover a nail that is purportedly from Jesus' cross, which sits inside a suspended cross under the Gothic ceiling. The sight of a holy man ascending in a rickety basket, adorned with clouds in this huge space is well worth witnessing. Free admission. Review © 2007, Wcities |
