Weddings in Certaldo
Certaldo is one of Tuscany’s best preserved villages. The setting is magnificent, incredibly picturesque…rolling hills covered with barley fields, olive grooves and cypresses trees. We highly recommend a wedding in Certaldo for its secluded and intimate atmosphere, stunning views and charming setting. One of the top locations for a destination wedding in Italy. Of Etruscan origins, Certaldo got its name from the Latin word cerrus, which meant a hill surrounded with oaks. The town is divided in two parts, the most picturesque is Certaldo Alto, the old town, famous for being the birthplace of Giovanni Bocaccio. The old part of town is made up by medieval houses and palaces (of red brick). In Certaldo you can admire the wonderful Palazzo Pretorio, the church of Santi Jacopo e Filippo and the Casa del Boccaccio which has turned into a museum and library.
