About Carbognano Christmas Markets

In Carbognano, a charming village in the Viterbo Tuscia region, Christmas comes to life within the evocative former church of Santa Maria, a 16th-century building commissioned by Giulia Farnese. Every year, during the Immaculate Conception weekend, the Christmas Markets fill the heart of the village with lights and scents: craft stalls, local food and wine specialties, gift ideas, and plenty of activities for children, from meeting Santa Claus to creative workshops. A traditional event organized by volunteers in collaboration with the Pro Loco Giulia Farnese.

Christmas in the heart of the Tuscia region

During the most magical time of the year, the village of Carbognano, in the province of Viterbo, transforms into a small Christmas village. The Carbognano Christmas Markets are a traditional event that, every year during the Immaculate Conception weekend, attracts visitors from across the Tuscia region and Upper Lazio. The setting is truly exceptional: the former church of Santa Maria, an elegant 16th-century building commissioned by Giulia Farnese, whose frescoes provide a stunning backdrop for the stalls.

What to expect at the stalls

The market features stalls ranging from handcrafted products to local food and wine specialties. Among the booths, you will find unique gifts, original ideas, and the typical flavors of local cuisine, perfect for getting into the festive spirit and finishing your Christmas shopping while strolling through the historic center.

  • Craft stalls and artisanal trades
  • Gastronomic specialties and typical products of the Tuscia region
  • Gift ideas and Christmas decorations
  • Visits to the frescoes of the 16th-century church

An event designed for children too

The little ones are the true stars: they can look forward to meeting Santa Claus, playing games, and participating in creative workshops and coloring activities that make the day special for the whole family. It is an opportunity to experience Christmas in an authentic way, far from the hustle and bustle of large shopping malls.

Organizers

The event is made possible by the dedication of the Christmas Market volunteers together with the Pro Loco Giulia Farnese and the Carbognano Festival Committee, under the patronage of the Municipality of Carbognano. A collective effort that highlights the community's strong bond with its traditions.
