The Wedding Website of Elizabeth Simon and Felix Virto
Nestled in the heart of an ancient and historic valley flanked by two sloping mountain ranges, we will find our temporary home, Villa Petrea. This 17th Century, twenty-five-acre estate has been restored in precisely the perfect manner as to have you feel that God Himself, when creating Tuscany, had pressed His hands into the earth in this valley to form this cradle of romance intertwined with history, nature and unique culture. Our time here together will be canvased with bountiful examples of beauty found throughout nature, and with us waking to crisp mornings and cool, yet comfortable temperatures. Lisa and I plan to explore many places in an effort to take in the essence of Tuscany. Below is our itinerary of events for your consideration. Please feel free to join us at your leisure or casually carve your own path through the amazing history and scenery of this Italian countryside.

Our Wedding Ceremony

12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Pieve di San Giovanni Battista a Galatrona
Tuscany 52021, Italy

Settled upon the ruins of an Etruscan temple built before the Roman Empire even existed, La Pieve di San Giovanni Batista a Galatrona is a beautiful reminder that beyond our mortality, His faith remains, and His church will survive us all. First recorded evidence of this now Catholic chapel's existence dates back to 774 AD. Adorning this humble chapel are beautiful works of art commissioned by 16th century Bishop, and patron of the arts, Leonardo Buonafede including a baptismal font, reliefs and glazed furniture sculpted by renaissance artist Giovanni della Robbia in 1521. What better tribute, and more fitting an example of His steadfast love for us than this humble place that has lasted millennia. His love never fails, His love is eternal, and His love is yours to receive.

Wedding Reception at Villa Petrea

1:30 pm - 7:00 pm

Following our mass and wedding ceremony, please join us at Villa Petrea for an unforgettable afternoon and evening featuring a specially prepared, delicious five-course meal by highly rated Italian Chef Guendalina Failli, owner and head chef of Le Mura Del Casero. Plan to have an intimate afternoon and evening with us.
