Santa Barbara Mini Machine holds Trasporto 2026 in Viterbo
The Santa Barbara Mini Machine celebrated its eleventh Trasporto for the 2026 season in Viterbo. The event featured the “Rosa Virtutis” structure, which stands nearly ten meters tall and weighs approximately five quintals.
Over 80 Mini Facchini carried the structure through a 900-meter route across several streets, including via Tarconte and via Porsenna, concluding at the Church of Santa Barbara. The procession was attended by hundreds of citizens and local officials, including Mayor Chiara Frontini and MEP Antonella Sberna.
This edition marked the debut of Gianni Bertoccini as capofacchino, succeeding Diego Terzoli. The ceremony included a blessing from the Bishop of Viterbo, Orazio Francesco Piazza, and featured dedications to local spiritual leaders.
