Top Five Locations For Your Civil Wedding in Italy:
1) Rome Campidoglio Wedding Hall on the Capitoline Hill
The sumptuous Campidoglio Wedding Hall, also known as the "Red Hall", is located on the top of the Capitoline hill. This hill was once the site of a temple for the Capitoline Triad, started by Rome's fifth king, Tarquinius Priscus. Michelangelo designed the fabulous piazza and restyled the surrounding palazzos dated from 1536. He reversed the classical orientation of the Capitoline, in a symbolic gesture turning Rome's civic center to face away from the Roman Forum and instead in the direction of Papal Rome : St. Peter's Basilica. Michelangelo devised a beautiful monumental wide ramped stair (the Cordonata) ascending the hill to reach the high piazza, so that the Campidoglio resolutely turned its back on the Roman Forum that it had once commanded. Interior of the Campidoglio Wedding Hall is all Renaissance gilding finely decorated with tapestries and chandeliers.
2) Florence Wedding Hall inside Palazzo Vecchio
The Palazzo Vecchio or Palazzo della Signoria has been Florence's town hall since 1322. It is a symbol of the power, influence, and strength of Medici, the family that built it.

A visit here means discovering a wonderful room with XVIII century stuccoes.

Inside, a series of elegantly furnished rooms are devoted to the bride and groom. The largest is full of light, with large windows overlooking the Grand Canal taking up one whole wall and providing a definitely unique panorama.

4) Ariccia Wedding Hall Palazzo Chigi Castelli Romani District
The Wedding Hall of Ariccia on the first floor of the famous Palazzo Chigi (Chigi Palace) in Ariccia represents a unique example of baroque residence that has preserved its original aspect over the centuries, to document the prestige of one of the greatest Italian Pope dynasties: the Chigi. The Palace, transformed into a prestigious baroque residence by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, is a museum and a center for several cultural activities: exhibits, concerts, guided tours, conferences, meetings, study programs. The ducal palace of Ariccia is a unique example of a baroque residence which has remained virtually unchanged in its environment and with its original furnishings, and is a testimonial to the great wealth of one of the most important Italian papal lines: the Chigi family. The family was also the owner of the Chigi palace in Rome which today houses the offices of the Council of Ministers of Italy.
Begun in the second half of the sixteenth century by the Savelli family, the palace was transformed into a lavish baroque home between 1664 and 1672 using plans by the famous Italian architect Gian Lorenzo Bernini. The palace houses a large collection of paintings, sculptures and decoration, mostly dating back to the seventeenth century, which also came from the family's Roman residence, which was sold to the Italian government in 1918.
Perhaps due to the Spanish feel of the dcor, Luchino Visconti decided to set his famous film "The Leopard" here, filming several scenes within the palace.
The palace was given to the Town of Ariccia on 29th December 1988 under special conditions, by Prince Agostino Chigi Albani della Rovere, and is now also the Wedding Hall of Ariccia.
