Wedding in Chianti
Chianti-shire is famous for its renown wine. Chianti is also one of the most peculiar landscapes of Tuscany. Getting married in Chianti means adding your wedding pictures to the images your memory recalls from Tuscany.
This region is pretty wide and includes the area of Siena and Florence, Val d'Orcia which extends from the hills south Siena to Monte Amiata. Your wedding in Chianti will be in a landscape made of gentle, carefully-cultivated hills occasionally broken by gullies and by picturesque towns and villages such as Pienza (rebuilt as an “ideal town” in the 15th century under the patronage of Pope Pius II), Radicofani (home to the notorious brigand-hero Ghino di Tacco) and Montalcino (the Brunello di Montalcino is counted among the most prestigious of Italian wines).
Chianti is the background of wedding images from the renaissance paintings. The famous Gioconda by Leonardo Da Vinci has Vignamaggio as a background. Even Modern photography love this area in its subjects.
