In Lazio festival weekends follow the calendar of saints and seasons. On Corpus Christi weekend, Via Italo Belardi in Genzano di Roma is covered with a carpet of flower petals laid out in panels, which children scatter by running through it after the procession. On the evening of 3 September around a hundred bearers carry the Macchina di Santa Rosa through the streets of Viterbo, an illuminated tower about thirty metres high: together with Italy's other great shoulder-borne processional structures it has been UNESCO intangible heritage since 2013. On the first Sunday of October Marino holds its Grape Festival, founded in 1925, when the fountains in the town centre run with wine instead of water.
The region's airports are Rome Fiumicino and Rome Ciampino. From Fiumicino to Viterbo is about 120 km, around an hour and a half by car depending on traffic on Rome's ring road; from Ciampino to Frosinone about 80 km, roughly fifty minutes on the motorway. For festivals in the Castelli Romani hill towns and inland villages, a car or regional train is the easiest option; on festival evenings the old town centres fill up, so arriving early helps with parking.
