The ceremony took place in the castle’s chapel, adorned with flowers and elegant decorations. The moment they were pronounced husband and wife, the crowd erupted in applause and cheers, celebrating the beginning of their new life together.

Long tables were set up under the shade of ancient trees, adorned with white and yellow flowers. The feast was a delightful spread of traditional Italian dishes, featuring fresh local ingredients and flavors that celebrated the couple’s shared love for food.

The joyous spirit of the occasion was elevated by the lively tunes of popular music that filled the air. A talented local band played a mix of popular Italian hits, encouraging everyone to get up and dance. The garden was soon transformed into an open-air dance floor, where guests of all ages twirled and swayed, their laughter echoing through the castle grounds.

As the sun began to set, guests were invited into one of the castle’s most exquisite rooms for the traditional Campagne Tower. This room, adorned with stunning frescoes, provided a breathtaking backdrop for the evening’s sweet finale. The intricate details of the frescoes, combined with the soft glow of candlelight, created an ambiance of timeless elegance. 

Claudette and Adriano’s wedding was not just a ceremony; it was a celebration of love, family, and the enchanting allure of the Italian countryside.
