Easter 2026 in Italy: experience the traditions, discover where to spend less

April 5th is approaching. Easter is just around the corner - one of the most heartfelt and spectacular celebrations in the Italian calendar. Have you already chosen where to spend it?

Italy at Easter is unlike anywhere else in the world

There is a time of year when Italy transforms. Town squares fill with silent or jubilant crowds, the churches open their doors onto centuries of history, and ancient villages come back to life according to age-old rites passed down from generation to generation.

This is Italian Easter: a journey through faith, folklore and beauty unlike anything else in the world.

The most breathtaking celebrations, from North to South

From North to South, every place has its own authentic way of celebrating Holy Week. Here are some of the most evocative events:

• Processione dei Misteri in Trapani
  Twenty-four hours of procession with 17th-century sacred statues carried on their shoulders through the city streets, in an atmosphere of faith and deep emotion.

• I Battenti and the Rito della Desolata in Taranto
