Civil wedding or union ceremonies in Italy are unique and truly charming.

Here below the venues where to have a civil wedding or arrange a civil union, including the amazing ancient Theatre in the main square (a new entry!):

• The Town Hall (in the so-called “Red Hall”)
  A late baroque building erected in 1544, located in the very heart of the city.

• Relais Pugliano
  In a dominant position, with a 360° view over the breathtaking landscape of Tuscan hills. It is a scenic location with a sophisticated taste.

• Castello di Oliveto
  Fairy-tale and majestic, steeped in history and surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, it is the perfect setting for a romantic and elegant ceremony.

• Teatro del Popolo… a spectacular location!
  Make your wedding or union day unforgettable in the magical atmosphere that is created between the stages and the curtain.
