Tonight in Castiglion Fiorentino marked the first procession of holy week. There are multiple processions taking place all week during the later hours of the evening. The processions involve people cloaked in hoods of black, white, and sometimes brown depending on the day. The front of the procession was all black hoods, followed by the white hoods, and then the float with the marching band close behind. The white hooded crowd was a little bit creepy because that means something else at home.
