Viterbo lies in the upper Tuscia area of Lazio, at the foot of the Cimini Mountains and a short distance from Lakes Bolsena and Vico. Located about eighty kilometres from Rome, the city occupies a strategic position between Lazio, Umbria and Tuscany, and is also famous for its celebrated thermal springs, mentioned by Dante in the Divine Comedy.
Founded in an area of ancient Etruscan and Roman origin, the city reached its greatest splendour during the Middle Ages. In the 13th century it became the “City of the Popes”, serving as a papal seat to escape the tensions of Rome. It was here that the first and longest conclave in history took place (1268–1271), during which citizens removed the roof of the Papal Palace to urge the election of Gregory X. The historic centre, centred on the San Pellegrino district, preserves the architecture of that period intact.
The city’s identity culminates on the evening of 3 September with the Feast of Saint Rose, the city’s patron saint. During the event, an illuminated tower thirty metres high and weighing over five tonnes is carried on the shoulders of one hundred “Facchini” through the narrow medieval streets, in a solemn ritual recognised by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage.
