The Marriage of the Tree in the Forest of Monte Fogliano

The fateful "yes" dates back to an ancient papal agreement five centuries ago.The inhabitants of Vetralla,with this ceremony claim possession of the mountain and its Forest.A turkey oak tree all adorned with flowers, tulle and bows is accompanied by a procession of women and men dressed in nineteenth-century costumes to the Fogliano forest, where the wedding with the mayor will take place in front of a jubilant crowd. The Vetralla band, flag-wavers and knights will make the original event even more impressive, and when the wedding is complete...confetti for all. An original rite that reminds us of everyone's commitment and care for mother earth.
