IL PALACCIO NEL CILENTO WEDDING
Ariana & Frank, 7 June 2025
The wedding venue, Tenuta Il Pilaccio nel Cilento, is an enchanting 19th-century historic manor nestled in the Cilento hills – a place where unspoiled nature meets timeless elegance, creating the perfect setting for an intimate and unforgettable event.
The ceremony took place in a small church just up the street, from where the couple walked back to the venue surrounded by their guests – greeted along the way by neighbors and passersby, in a scene that felt quintessentially Italian. Aperitivo carried on almost until sunset, followed by dinner in the garden and a poolside party that ran late into the night, the couple, both originally from Venezuela, brought a piece of home to Italy with traditional Venezuelan dances and music keeping the celebration alive until the early hours.
Planning Your Destination Wedding in Italy?
I photograph a few weddings in Italy each season and handle my own travel – one less thing to plan from abroad. If Italy is your plan – Cilento, Puglia, Tuscany, the Amalfi Coast, tell me your story and your date.
Good to know
Does an Italian wedding start the night before?
Often, and it should. A welcome dinner the evening before gives your guests time to settle in and get to know each other, and gives your photographs a second setting beyond the wedding day itself.
Do you charge extra for travel to Italy?
