The "arches of bread" of San Biagio Platani are a particular tradition that takes place in the city of San Biagio Platani, in the province of Agrigento, Sicily. These arches are made for the Easter festivities and consist of large structures of woven and decorated bread.

The women of the village gather to weave bread and create elaborate designs and decorations.
