You are entering a medieval fortress. We ask you to dress for the occasion — with elegance, intention, and a touch of the extraordinary.
Deep jewel tones and classic neutrals are most at home in candlelit stone halls. Think midnight blue, forest green, burgundy, champagne, ivory, dove grey.
You hold in your hands — or rather, on your screen — something rare: an invitation to witness love in its most magnificent form. Toni and Cote have chosen to celebrate the greatest chapter of their story at one of Italy's most breathtaking castles, surrounded only by those who matter most.
That circle includes you. Not by accident. By choice. By love.
We invite you to join us for a weekend unlike any you have experienced — where every detail has been obsessed over, every moment curated, and where the only thing that matters is the joy of being present for something truly extraordinary.
Some events are merely beautiful. Others change the way you see the world. This is the second kind.
Toni and Cote met in Milano on an ordinary Tuesday and made it extraordinary. Three years later, they have chosen a fortress born in the year 1001 — rising from the Benedictine monks to the noble families of Emilia, surviving Guelphs and Ghibellines, overlooking the Luretta valley from the hills of Piacenza — to declare to the world what they have known since that Tuesday: this love is a miracle.
Eight thousand square metres of fortified stone, four turreted towers, a 17th-century church, a private chapel painted with the Resurrection, frescoed halls and vaulted cellars — wrapped in seven hectares of park with two lakes, a natural spring, statues, and a centuries-old fountain. The castello rises from the slopes of Monte Bissago, looking down on the Luretta valley exactly as it has since the year 1001. For three days in September it is yours.
Inside the castle, painted in the 18th century, lives a chapel whose walls hold a Resurrection — Christ rising in tempera and gold leaf — beside the crucifix that has presided over seven centuries of prayer. The vaulted ceiling is a sky in pigment: cobalt blue and cartouches of gold.
This is where the ceremony takes place.
Two days that begin with Italian sunshine and end with people you love.
A bespoke kitchen within the castello's ancient vaulted cellars, led by our executive chef. Five courses of pure Emilian and Piedmontese excellence.
