Marta

Marta is best known within Lazio for the Barabbata, a May 14 procession honouring the Madonna del Monte that keeps the town’s agricultural traditions alive. On the southern shore of volcanic Lake Bolsena, Marta faces one of Italy’s largest volcanic lakes, while the Marta River begins here on its course toward the Tyrrhenian Sea. Its waterfront and compact historic centre reflect a long connection with fishing and farming rather than the monumental cityscape of Rome. Decorated carts and traditional dress give the annual procession a distinctive place in the culture of Tuscia.
