What are Tuscany’s Easter traditions?

Easter in Tuscany is rich in history, faith, and community celebrations. Many towns and villages hold processions and reenactments of the Passion of Christ, often with locals in traditional costumes. Florence, for example, hosts the famous Scoppio del Carro (Explosion of the Cart) , where a decorated cart is pulled by oxen to the Duomo and set alight with fireworks to symbolize blessings for the coming year.

In Siena, you can witness smaller but equally heartfelt celebrations, while in Lucca, the streets are adorned with decorations for Easter Sunday. Tuscany’s churches also offer beautiful masses, with choirs and traditions dating back centuries. Beyond the religious aspects, Easter is a time for families to gather and enjoy special meals featuring lamb, Colomba Pasquale, and other regional delights.

What do people usually eat for Easter brunch in Tuscany?

Easter brunch in Tuscany is a feast that combines seasonal and traditional flavors. It often starts with Torta Pasqualina, a savory pie filled with spinach, ricotta, and eggs symbolizing rebirth. Freshly baked breads, such as schiacciata di Pasqua (a sweet, anise-flavored bread), are served alongside a selection of cured meats like prosciutto and salame Toscano.

Another favorite is frittata with asparagus, a spring vegetable that’s abundant during this time. Cheeses like pecorino, paired with honey and fig jam, are common accompaniments. TTo complement this sumptuous meal, Tuscany’s renowned wines take center stage. A crisp Vernaccia di San Gimignano pairs beautifully with savory dishes, while a robust Chianti Classico elevates the flavors of cured meats and cheeses. For dessert, Colomba Pasquale (a dove-shaped Easter cake) and chocolate eggs are enjoyed with a glass of Vin Santo, Tuscany’s iconic sweet wine, rounding off the brunch in true Tuscan style.

When should I book a villa for Easter in Tuscany?

To secure the perfect villa for Easter in Tuscany, it’s best to book as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance. Easter is a popular time for both international and local travelers, as it marks the beginning of spring and offers mild weather, vibrant landscapes, and unique cultural events.

Booking early not only ensures availability in the most sought-after locations, such as Lucca, Siena, or Florence but also gives you access to better rates and a wider selection of properties. Last-minute options may be available, but they are often limited and can be more expensive.

If you're planning to stay in a luxury villa or require specific amenities like a private pool or proximity to Easter festivities, booking well in advance is even more critical. Many travelers pair their Easter holiday with school breaks, increasing demand, so don’t delay securing your dream Tuscan villa!
