Italy: Valentine’s Day – 2026
9 February 2026
February 14th is a day that unites all lovers of the world. But it is important to remember that the history of celebrating the most romantic day of the year goes back to Italy, to ancient Roman traditions and legends.
Saint Valentine was a Roman priest who lived in the 3rd century AD in the town of Terni, near Rome. In the era when Emperor Claudius II forbade marriages for young men, believing that without a family they would become the best soldiers, Valentine secretly married couples in love, violating this decree.
In Italy, this day is especially revered. The relics of the saint are kept in Terni, and Verona, the city of Romeo and Juliet, which annually becomes a place of pilgrimage for lovers.
In addition to popular places, A La Carte Premium will be happy to discover hidden corners for guests, where the atmosphere is conducive to important events, whether it is a marriage proposal or a romantic confession.
