Pietrasanta

Pietrasanta, ancient city of medieval origin, is the historical chief town of the Versilia riviera and the capital of the artistic workmanship of Marble.

Common with strong tourist vocation, its harbour is a famous bathing station and its mountains a fascinating destination. The beauty of the historical center matches perfectly with the shops of the marble artisans, with the famous bronze foundries and with the laboratories where artistic mosaics, appreciated all over the world, are created.

In Pietra Santa Civil ceremonies are performed in the Palazzo Comunale or at the Abbazia of San Girolamo.

Viareggio

Viareggio is one of the most stylish and exclusive resorts. Lined with majestic hotels, it extends across the renowned promenade, where once upon a time the fleeting celebrations of high society took place and today the important carnival between Ephiphany (6th January) and the beginning of Lent. One of society's truly privileged places and VIP area (closed to the famous beach of Forte dei Marmi), at the same time cosmopolitan and worldly, nowadays Viareggio is also the focal point of entertainment with its fashionable night spots.

Civil ceremonies can be celebrated in a marvellous, ancient hotel located in the city centre facing the seaside, in summer time in the beautiful panoramic terrace.

Civil Ceremony

Palazzo comunale

Usually Civil ceremonies in Pietrasanta are celebrated in the TOWN HALL that is a building of last century.

Convento di Sant'Agostino

The complex constituted from the church of S.Agostino and from the adjoining ex-convent with the characteristic cloister constitutes, together with the other monuments that are leaned out on the Plaza of the Cathedral of Pietrasanta a pole of great historical-artistic interest.

The church was built beginning from the sec. XIV from the monks agostiniani, already present in romitori of the Versilia, that subsequently (sec.XVI) they built the adjoining convent. The bell tower is of 1780.

Elevated above a brief stairway of marble, the sober façade, also in marble, is characterized by three great arcs to blind fund, surmounted by an order of elegant Gothic bows by the slender colonnettes.

The wedding hall is very romantic and it is the perfect setting for an unforgettable wedding.
