The Wedding of the Trees is celebrated in Vetralla, a town in Lazio north of Rome, every year on May 8. Mary Jane Cryan, of Elegant Etruria, says that the festival, started in 1432, is "probably the first and most genuine festa ecologica (green or environmental celebration)". A limited number of invitations are available for the festival. Mary Jane's article on Italian Notebook has more information about the Wedding of the Trees, including photos and how to get an invitation.

Northern Lazio has Etruscan sites, castles, seaside towns, beautiful countryside, and the unusual Bomarzo Monster Park. Find out more with our Northern Lazio Map and Travel Information.
