The Scoppio del Carro ("Explosion of the Cart") is an Easter tradition in Florence. This is video from Easter 2010. An ornate wooden cart is packed with fireworks, which are set off in Cathedral square (Piazza del Duomo). The pyrotechnics include purple and pink smoke as well, and it all happens to the clanging of church bells.
