Florence San Gimignano Volterra Chianti Val d'Orcia Siena Southern Tuscany The Coast Lucca Cinque Terre    At Italyweddings, we are passionate about central Italy, and Tuscany in particular, where we live and work. The towns, villages and villas here are among the most beautiful and interesting in Europe, and the countryside, the light, the nature, are renown worldwide for their quality, magic and beauty. The culture, the cuisine and the society are unmatched in modern Europe, as documented in dozens of books and films, from Under the Tuscan Sun, Room with a View, and The English Patient.

Florence The birthplace of the renaissance, home to the most important art collections in Europe, the Uffizi Gallery, the Ponte Vecchio bridge. a place never to forget. Beautiful weddings in the Sala Rossa, Protestant Church, or romantic villas. Chianti (Radda, Gaiole...) The broad area in the heart of Tuscany, in which one of Italy's finest red wines is produced. This area is also where you'll find jewel like villages of Greve in Chianti, Gaiole in Chianti, Panzano... and some of the lovliest villas and castles of Italy. Southern Tuscany (Cortona, Arezzo...) The perfect place to be centered in Italy. Made famous due to the books and film "Under The Tuscan Sun", it remains an unspoilt medieval oasis of great food, olive groves, poppy fields, architecture, and relaxation. Lucca The walled city is ideally placed between the Tuscan coast, the Appenine mountains, and the valley or Florence. Convenient for Pisa airport, remarkable not only for a culturally active city life, but also the numerous villas that dot the hills around the town

San Gimignano The quntessential medieval village in the heart of Tuscany: stunning views, unspoilt architecture, and amazing villas. The village is closed to traffic, and in the winter months, only the locals inhabit the sleepy back streets. Val d'Orcia (Pienza, San Quirico...) Southern Tuscany: ideal for lovers of all things authentic and unspoilt: the wines of Pienza and Montalcino (famous for it's Brunello), wild boar and home cooking. The sheep's cheese, Pecorino di Pienza, is widely acclaimed as one of the finest cheeses in Europe. Certaldo Alto Certaldo is a great choice for those who wish to hold a civil wedding in an open air setting: the town hall courtyard is used for the civil wedding. A Tuscan gem in the heart of Chianti. Cinque Terre Five coastal jewel-like towns North of Tuscany. There is nowhere in Northern Italy more beautiful for a sea-view wedding setting.

Volterra One of the finest hilltop towns. Idyllically set amidst a landscape of soft rolling hills, the town is a haven of Etruscan, Roman, Medieval and Rennaissance art and architecture, an area a perfect choice for a peaceful, relaxing holiday. Siena The medieval hilltown, largely unchanged in five hundred years - it's narrow streets free of traffic, the Palio horse race that dominates the life of the city. The town hall - Palazzo Communale - on the main square, the Piazza del Campo. The Tuscan Coast The Tuscan coast is one of the longest, and most varied in Italy. There are sandy beaches to the north, around Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi - but for a wedding, we prefer the less populated areas to the center and south. The area around Bolgheri and Populonia in particular in central Tuscany, and the wild area of the Maremma to the south. Pistoia, Vinci Off the beaten tourist route, even though the town center is one of the best preserved in Tuscany. The town is also just a few miles out of Florence, easy to reach, and a great base for visiting Lucca, Pisa, Montecatini, and all of Northern Tuscany.
