Embark on a solemn and evocative virtual walking tour of Gubbio, an enchanting medieval town nestled in the heart of Italy, on the occasion of Good Friday. This NEW immersive experience will transport you through the winding, cobblestone streets of Gubbio under the cloak of dusk, as the town commemorates the ancient and profound procession of the "Christ Dead".

Known as the "Processione di Cristo Morto", the procession is a deeply moving and historically rich event that commemorates the Passion and death of Jesus Christ, an observance central to Christian faith, particularly poignant during Easter week. As dusk falls on Good Friday, the ancient, cobblestoned streets of Gubbio are illuminated by the flickering light of torches and candles, casting a mystical glow on the historic buildings and creating an atmosphere of reverence and contemplation.

Participants in the procession are clad in traditional robes, hoods, and capes, embodying the somber mood of mourning for Christ's death. The air is filled with the haunting sounds of muffled drums, solemn chants, and sacred hymns, echoing through the narrow alleys and over the town's storied piazzas. Don't miss out on the chance to witness an important religious and cultural event that provides insight into the rich history and traditions of Gubbio, from the comfort of your own home.
