On 4 November, Viterbo celebrates National Unity Day and Armed Forces Day, an anniversary commemorating the end of the First World War. The official ceremony takes place between Piazza dei Caduti and Piazza San Lorenzo, in the historic centre, with the participation of civil and military authorities and a tribute to the fallen of all wars. The programme opens on 3 November with the dress rehearsals in Piazza San Lorenzo; the following day the procession crosses the two squares and the streets of the centre. The event is organised by the Comune di Viterbo and the anniversary is also marked in the area by the Prefettura di Viterbo. Anyone in the centre on the morning of 4 November should take note of the traffic changes on the streets affected by the procession: details are in the useful information.
