Tuscania White Night
The medieval village of Tuscia dresses in white with music, shows, and visits to Etruscan necropolises
About Tuscania White Night
A white night in the heart of Tuscia
The Tuscania White Night is one of the most anticipated summer events in the Viterbo Tuscia area. For one evening, usually the last weekend of July, the historic center of this medieval village stays awake until late: squares become stages, shops remain open, restaurants and stalls offer local flavors, and the streets fill with families, groups of friends, and visitors from all over the province of Viterbo and the Lazio region.
The total white dress code
The hallmark of the event is the total white dress code: citizens and visitors are invited to wear something white, creating a suggestive and luminous atmosphere that envelops the entire village. Amidst the tuff walls and illuminated alleys, the effect is that of a grand, elegant, open-air party.
Music and shows in Piazza Italia
The beating heart of the evening is Piazza Italia, where entertainment, group dances, and the major evening concert take place. The 2026 edition features the tribute band «Come Cesare», dedicated to Cesare Cremonini and Lunapop, while in 2025, Queen Vision paid homage to Queen. Surrounding the main stage are dance performances by the Latin Passion school, shows, car and motorcycle exhibitions along Viale Trieste, games for children, and cultural moments such as book presentations at Parco Torre di Lavello.
Etruscan necropolises at sunset
The White Night is also an opportunity to discover the ancient soul of Tuscania: in the late afternoon, the Tourist Office, in collaboration with Archeoares, organizes guided tours of the two Etruscan necropolises of Pian di Mola and Madonna dell'Olivo, meeting at Piazzale Trieste. It is a unique way to link contemporary celebration with the archaeological heritage that makes the city famous, along with the Romanesque basilicas of San Pietro and Santa Maria Maggiore.
A festival promoted by the Municipality
The event is organized by the Municipality of Tuscania, in collaboration with local entities such as VeroBenessere and local associations. It is an evening designed to enliven commerce and village life in the height of summer, and it is part of the rich calendar of events that animates the Lazio Maremma every year.
