Easter Greetings from the land of confetti (candy coated almonds) traditionally given at weddings, baptisms, graduations and other special occasions. They were once thrown in carnivals in Italy but when the English adapted this tradition to weddings, they traded tiny pieces of colored paper (called coriandoli in Italian) for the almonds.
Sulmona, here in Abruzzo, is the home of this colorful treat and I took some photos to share with you. Fashioned into flowers at this time of year, they make colorful displays and gifts. The sparkly flowers in the last photo would be my granddaughter's favorites. May your time with family and friends be sweet.
