An evocative and original location, to live an unforgettable day. Opportunity
offered also to Civil Unions thanks to an agreement between the Municipality and the Foundation
Saying the fateful “yes” in the splendid setting of the Teatro del Popolo in Castelfiorentino? It’s possible, thanks to the agreement stipulated a few months ago between the Municipality and the Teatro del Popolo Foundation, which joins the other possibilities already contemplated of being able to celebrate a marriage with a civil rite (or Civil Unions) at the Castello di Oliveto and the Relais Pugliano.
As demonstrated by the last ceremony celebrated a few days ago, the choice of the theater is well suited to immortalize the couple through a sequence of shots really special, where the photographer can range freely between the stage, the stalls and boxes, available to family members, relatives and friends. To make the atmosphere even more evocative is the presence, in the background, of the Historical Curtain, made in 1868 by the Sienese Dario Maffei, which depicts the Peace stipulated in Castelfiorentino at the end of the battle between Guelphs and Ghibellines, also remembered by Dante in the “Divine Comedy”.
“When I imagined the weddings at the Theatre – says the Deputy Mayor in charge of Culture, Claudia Centi – I did not think it could get this far. It was a long journey, but it was worth it. I would like to thank Michele Cucchiara and Alessandra Minucci, who were among the first to seize the opportunity to transform their ceremony into an unforgettable moment”.
“In these days – Claudia Centi specifies – we have renewed the promotional material, also in English, in which we propose not only the Oliveto Castle and the Relais Pugliano but also the Teatro del Popolo in Castelfiorentino. A wide and diversified range of opportunities, in short, available to all citizens and foreign couples who wish to celebrate their marriage in Italy”.
The tariffs for the use of the Theatre for the celebration of a civil ceremony are as follows: € 1,000.00 for the use of the Foyer on the ground floor, the stalls and the stage; € 1,200.00 for the use of the Foyer on the ground floor, the stalls, the stage and the boxes.
