Easter in Florence
Kids, don't try this at home.
La Columbina is supposed to fly back into the church. As you saw above, she didn't last year.
The mayor (a woman that year) processes to the church of Santi Apostoli to fetch some ancient flints allegedly from Jerusalem brought back by the Pazzi family in the 11th century. These are carried to Florence Cathedral for the Easter Vigil. The fire ignited that night will be used to start the Scoppio del Carro.
