What’s on in Rome this month?
November is usually the rainiest month in Rome, and it’s when the winter weather starts to kick in, leaving behind the warm afternoons of October.
But this doesn’t mean that it’s not a good time to visit Rome. The offer of events and exhibitions is still rich. Here is our selection of things to do in Rome in November 2025, both outdoors, indoors and also by night!
Things to do in Rome in November 2025
Procession of the Sacconi Rossi brotherhood at the Tiber Island – November 2nd
On November 2nd, the Day of the Dead, on the Tiber Island you’ll be able to join the procession of the Sacconi Rossi brotherhood. What is it?
The Sacconi Rossi were a confraternity characterized by their dinstinctive red hoods. This confraternity was born in 1700s and established their headquarter on the Tiber Island, where they are still today. And where their crypt is!
The Sacconi Rossi used to bury their confraternity members in the crypt below their headquarter. Additionally, on occasion of the Day of the Dead on November 2nd, they also used to collect the dead bodies they found in the Tiber river and leave them along the banks of the river until their family members would recognize them.
This procession still happens today (without the collection of the bodies, of course!) on November 2nd and it starts at 5:30PM in the church of San Giovanni Calibita (right next to the pharmacy) which is open only on this day during the year.
The members of the confraternity wear their red hoods and you can follow them walking down the banks of the Tiber river with candles while praying for the dead.
