“Scoppio del carro“, is a tradition that dates back to the first crusade. On 15 July 1099, after a long siege, the Crusader army conquered Jerusalem. For the enterprise, a Florentine noble received from Godfrey of Bouillon, three stone chips of the Holy Sepulchre of Christ, then brought to Florence in 1101. Preserved by the Pazzi family, the stones were used to make sparks of fire “novello”, then distributed to individual families, to turn the family hearth. The “Wagon” that is now used, it is obviously not the same built from the Pazzi family, but preserves “the stones of the Holy Sepulchre”. This cart is lodged, during the year, Porta al Prato, Florence, in a wooden building with no Windows, but with a giant door. You will never forget this show, truly sublime, when you see, suddenly, that flaming wagon, while the Dove returns to the altar of the Church. At the same time, you feel a thousand bells in Florence, playing all together. You will see hundreds of pigeons that take flight, tracing carousels in the sky. The “Brindellone”, burned by the flight of the Dove, thou shalt see it explode in a flurry of bangs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LT5qr1xqbKo
