Local tradition is represented as well with colourfully dressed characters and musicians in Renaissance costume, riders on horseback, bands and dancers.The entire program for each edition is designed by the local city council along with representatives of all foreign communities who live in Florence, with the goal of celebrating the city's ethnic diversity.
