WEDDING IN TUSCIA

Dear friends, today we are going to talk about one of Italy’s secret “pearls” where your marriage could be unforgetable and where you can organize a wedding in Tuscia.

Wedding in Tuscia

There are at least 7 good reasons to choose Tuscia as your destination:

|| Via InTuscia ||

• THE ARCHEOLOGY, with Tarquinia’s fresco-adorned tombs and the cave necropoles of Norchia and Castel d’Asso.

They are actually not only witnesses of Etruscan heritage but also Roman, with the theater in Ferento and the amphitheater in Sutri, built entirely in the rock.

• THE ART, with the Palazzo Papale in Viterbo, famous as the home of many popes, but even more known as the seat of the first conclave in history. After the death of Pope Clement IV, the cardinals were unable to elect a pope for 33 months, and so the Capitano del Popolo (Captain of the People) Raniero Gatti chose to place them under lock and key (cumclave), removing the roof of the palace so as to get them to decide quickly. And so, after a brief duration, Pope Gregory X was elected.

The Palazzo Farnese di Caprarola, commissioned by Alexander, nephew of Pope Paul III, designed by Antonio da Sangallo, is a place where today many unforgettable civil weddings are held.

The splendid Italian garden of Villa Lante, designed by Vignola,

the original Bomarzo Park of Monsters, with gigantic stone sculptures. Lastly, the pretty town centers such as the Medieval Quarter of San Pellegrino in Viterbo and Civita di Bagnoregio and San Martino al Cimino.

• THE EVENTS. The Pugnaloni of Acquapendente, wonderful mosaics of flower petals and leaves to commemorate liberation from the tyranny of Federico Barbarossa, the Barabbata in Marta, which takes us back to the old Etrusccan rites of fertility and the passing of the seasons, San Pellegrino in fiore (flowers), an event during which the entire medieval quarter is adorned and decorated by the top gardeners of Italy.
  But before anything else, the Carrying of the Macchina of Santa Rosa, an illuminated bell tower, 30 meters tall, 5,000 kilograms heavy, carried through the city on the backs of 100 porters.

• THE WATER, with the sea, the volcanic lakes of Bolsena and Vico,
  the spa, known since Roman times, and then repeatedly cited by Dante in the Divine Comedy.

• THE NATURE, with Tarquinia’s salt flats, the Natural Reserve at the Valley of Treja, then Mount Rufeno, etc.
• THE SACRED ELEMENT, with Via Francigena, which runs along the entire province of Proceno to Monterosi, where evidence can be seen of the ancient pilgrimages to Rome, such as the Basilica of Santo Sepolcro at Acquapendente, the Basilica of Santa Cristina of Bolsena, where the Miracle of Corpus Christi happened, and the Church of San Flaviano of Montefiascone, etc.

Wedding in Tuscia, one of Italy’s secret “pearls” yet to be invaded by mass tourism, characterized by genuine simplicity.

THANK YOU,
