Wedding at Tenuta di Ripolo

Elena and Flavio's wedding was an unforgettable event, celebrated in two extraordinary locations: the historic Basilica of Sant'Elia in Nepi and the charming Tenuta di Ripolo.

The day began with preparations at Tenuta di Ripolo, a stunning 17th-century estate nestled in the Monti Sabatini hills, near Lakes Bracciano and Martignano. Once owned by the Odescalchi princes, this venue perfectly combines history and elegance, offering vast gardens and refined halls that created the ideal setting for Elena and Flavio's special day.

The religious ceremony took place at the majestic Basilica of Sant'Elia in Nepi, a masterpiece of Romanesque architecture located in the picturesque Suppentonia valley. Founded between the 8th and 9th centuries, the basilica is adorned with medieval frescoes that made the couple's "I do" moment even more emotional.

After the ceremony, guests returned to Tenuta di Ripolo for the reception. The evening was filled with joy and celebration, culminating in a special surprise: at the stroke of midnight on July 21st, Flavio's birthday was celebrated, making their wedding at Tenuta di Ripolo even more unique and memorable.

Elena and Flavio wanted a wedding that felt authentic and emotional, placing great importance on the ceremony and the party. Their main desire was to capture genuine moments to cherish for years to come, rather than focusing on sharing everything on social media.
