Bagnaia is a village in Lazio, central Italy, administratively a frazione of the comune of Viterbo, province of Viterbo.[2]

Former municipality, it was annexed to the comune of Viterbo in 1928. Bagnaia is about 7 km from Viterbo and 100 km from Rome.

The "Fuoco di Sant Antonio" is a large bonfire erected in the town center and, with much merriment, lit on the evening of each 16th of January in honor of the St Anthony.
