Welcome Night: A Tuscan Pizza Party at Villa Le Querce
The wedding weekend at Villa Le Querce began with an authentic Italian welcome night: a relaxed pizza party under the Tuscan sky.
Long wooden tables, string lights, and the scent of wood‑fired dough created the perfect atmosphere for guests arriving from abroad.
The villa’s gardens offered a warm, intimate setting where friends and family could meet, reconnect, and settle into the rhythm of Tuscany.
Fresh local ingredients, crisp wines, and the slow summer light set the tone for a weekend that felt both elegant and effortlessly Italian.
For destination couples, a welcome pizza night is more than a pre‑wedding event — it becomes part of the story, a way to introduce guests to the landscape, flavors, and relaxed beauty of Italy.
The Wedding Day at Villa Le Querce
The wedding day unfolded inside the timeless charm of Villa Le Querce, one of Tuscany’s most atmospheric venues. Surrounded by oak trees and rolling hills, the villa blends rustic textures with refined Italian elegance.
The morning began with bridal preparations in soft natural light, followed by an outdoor ceremony framed by cypress trees and warm countryside tones. After the vows, guests enjoyed a golden‑hour aperitivo overlooking the hills — a moment suspended between celebration and stillness.
Dinner was served al fresco, with candlelit tables, local dishes, and a gentle summer breeze. The entire day felt intimate, authentic, and deeply connected to the Tuscan landscape — the kind of atmosphere destination couples dream of when choosing Italy.
A Cinematic Couple Session at San Galgano Abbey
The day after the wedding, the couple extended their story with an editorial‑style couple session at San Galgano Abbey, one of Tuscany’s most iconic and dramatic locations.
The roofless Gothic structure, open to the sky, creates a surreal and cinematic atmosphere. Light moves through the arches in long, soft lines — perfect for artistic portraits and timeless storytelling. The couple wandered through the abbey’s geometry, letting the silence and symmetry shape the mood of the images.
Combining Villa Le Querce and San Galgano offers destination couples a unique narrative:
• a romantic Tuscan villa for the celebration
• a historic, architectural landmark for editorial portraits
• two iconic Italian settings within easy reach of Siena and Florence
It’s a pairing that feels both authentic and unforgettable — a true Italian wedding experience.
