Weddings in Pienza

The town of Pienza for centuries has represented the Ideal City where urban planning concepts were applied creating a perfect model that spread to the rest of Italy and to other European centers. In fact the enchanting piazza is surrounded by symmetrical and well-structured 15th century buildings. Pienza wanted to be a town where people you can live an ideal life thanks to a Government that cares about them and tries to satisfy the needs of a pacific, civil and hardworking living. Pienza today is one of the most beautiful example of Renaissance town building thanks to the beauty of its center that was completely redesigned by Pope Pius II. Pienza is about 1 hour drive from Siena, and 2 hours from Florence

Wedding in Pienza
Across from the Duomo that dominates the center of the piazza is the Town Hall, the 15th century Palazzo Comunale where civil ceremonies are performed. The building has a three-arched beautiful loggia on the ground floor and on the first floor it is the council chamber where wedding ceremonies take place. It also has a brick bell tower that is shorter than its counterpart at the cathedral, to symbolize the superior power of the church. The travertine well on main Piazza was widely copied in Tuscany during the following century and is definitely a beautiful setting for wedding pictures since no traffic is allowed in the historical centre. The marriage halls preserve the typical Gothic furniture with beautiful frescoes, antique chandeliers and historical heraldic devices. The hall is illuminated by large windows facing the lovely Piazza del Duomo. The hall can host up to 40 guests. Ideal venue either for small or medium size weddings.
