The Tuscany wedding of Gemma and Bobby at San Galgano Abbey is an event that we won’t forget for years to come. There is no place like Tuscany to step back into the past, and San Galgano is one of its most special places. This fantastic abbey was built in the 13th century in Gothic style by the then powerful Cistercian monks, who were allied with the Republic of Siena. During the wars among the various factions of Tuscany, the abbey started to lose its prestige and a slow decline began. In the 18th century the bell tower was struck by a lightning and crumbled to the ground, destroying also the roof of the church. Finally the local authorities understood the artistic value of this cultural heritage and in the 20th century the ancient building underwent major restoration works, allowing many visitors to discover its timeless enchantment. In this magical place we organized the civil ceremony for Gemma and Bobby, since the local municipality allows weddings with legal validity to take place here.
The bride, her father and the bridesmaids arrived at the church on a vintage, red and white Volkswagen Camper. The groom was waiting for Gemma at the end of the roofless nave, under the bluest sky, the string duo was playing classical melodies that filled the air with music… unforgettable moments that will be remembered for a lifetime! Dreamy landscape of soft rolling hills stretching out as far as the eye can see… romance, beauty and the typical Tuscan feeling for a one-of-a-kind lifetime Italian experience… What a perfect setting for a dream wedding in Italy!

After the ceremony, all the party moved to a top class Chianti Villa to celebrate until late night.
