Sulmona's Confetti: Gift to William and Kate

Sulmona's confetti, a typical sweet delicacy from one of Abruzzo's most beautiful towns, is renowned throughout Italy and beyond. There are various types, the most distinctive of which consist of bouquets, colorful flowers, daisies, or poppies. Moreover, each "confetto" (singular of "confetti," much like you would speak of a single "spaghetto") in a bouquet comes in different flavors, from chocolate to caramel, from apple to orange. There are also sculptures or different depictions of plants or anthropomorphic figures, custom-made for the customer, or confetti sculptures evoking popular fantasy characters from youth culture.
