Sulmona is famous for it's confetti.  Not the paper stuff, but sugar/candy coated almonds and other nuts.  These are then fashioned into exquisite bouquets of flowers, butterflies, lady birds, sunflowers to name a few of the possibilities.  The sweets are bought for special occasions, births, weddings, anniversaries etc etc.


You can buy bags of sweets which we did.  Almonds and pistasios dipped in chocolate white and dark and then candy coated.  They are delicious.

These are not flowers, they are sweets made to look like flowers
