Benevento will mark the Day of National Unity and the Armed Forces on Wednesday, 4 November, with a ceremony at the Monument to the Fallen in Piazza Castello. For drivers, the morning will mean parking bans, road closures and temporary one-way rules around the Castle area.

Here is what to expect, based on the traffic plan reported for the 2026 celebrations.

When the restrictions apply

Restrictions begin at 07:00 on 4 November and remain in force until the celebrations end. The reported estimate is between approximately 09:00 and 12:00, depending on when the ceremony concludes.

That end time is not fixed. Allow extra time if you need to cross the centre in the late morning.

Parking bans with removal

From 07:00, parking and stopping will be prohibited, with forced removal, on both sides of:

  • Piazza Castello
  • Piazza IV Novembre
  • The affected section of Viale Atlantici
  • Via del Sole

Move cars out of these areas before 07:00. The ban applies to both sides of the listed streets and squares.

Roads closed to traffic

The same areas will also be closed to vehicular traffic during the ceremony period.

The closure applies broadly, including to residents and to vehicles without authorization connected to the celebrations. Only emergency vehicles and vehicles specifically authorized by the competent authorities are excluded, subject to safety precautions.

One-way changes on Viale dei Rettori

Viale dei Rettori will operate one-way between Via Perasso and Via Pertini, with mandatory directions indicated for traffic toward Arco Traiano, Via Pertini and Via Calandra.

Follow temporary signs and police directions at the junctions, especially around Via Perasso, Via Pertini and Via Calandra.

If you are driving in Benevento that morning

  • Avoid the Piazza Castello and Piazza IV Novembre area after 07:00.
  • Do not plan to park on Via del Sole or the affected part of Viale Atlantici.
  • If you live inside the closed area, move your vehicle the evening before.
  • Expect the centre to reopen progressively once the ceremony ends, indicatively by late morning.

Temporary signage, police directions or later municipal updates may change access conditions on the day, so follow on-site instructions even if they differ from published summaries.

A recurring November traffic plan

This is a familiar arrangement for Benevento. The municipality implemented a similar 4 November traffic plan in 2025, with restrictions around Piazza Castello, Piazza IV Novembre, Via del Sole and Viale Atlantici, alongside closures on other central streets.

The detailed ordinance number and direct ordinance link for 2026 were not included in the available report. Drivers who need the full legal text should check the City of Benevento notices before travelling.
