ABOUT

A specialised operator, working village by village

We design weddings inside the historic villages of the Marche. Each village is opened through a direct agreement with the municipality that owns its spaces — and each one stays a living place, not a venue built for a single day.

mission

We do not rent venues. We open a village.

For one wedding at a time, a historic borgo of the Marche is placed at your disposal through a signed agreement with its municipality: the piazza, the church, the theatre, the tower, the town-hall chamber. These are spaces that are not for rent — reached only through the town hall that owns them.

ACCESS, NOT PROPERTY

The luxury is the access, not the address. We own no property and rent none — we hold the agreements that open spaces no budget alone can book.

A CEREMONY THAT HOLDS

Every space we work in is a casa comunale. The civil ceremony is legally valid inside it — no special dispensation, no borrowed permission.

A LIVING VILLAGE

The full take-over belongs to the wedding day alone. Around it the village stays awake and lived-in — not a private-village resort, a place.

UNDER MUNICIPAL PATRONAGE

Every space we offer sits under a direct agreement with the municipality that owns it. Four villages. Four signed agreements. Four mayors.

THE TEAM

Diego Mangiaterra

CO-FOUNDER

Diego runs the institutional side of the project: the direct agreements with the municipalities of the Marche that place a civic space at a single wedding's disposal. He is the point of contact for the mayors and for the authorisations that open a church, a theatre or a town-hall chamber.

Omar Paniccià

CO-FOUNDER

Omar builds the commercial and experiential side — the formats, the vendor coordination, and the deep local knowledge of the Fermano, from artisan workshops to the made-to-measure shoemaking of the district. He keeps the project rooted in the people who live and work in these villages.

Lucrezia

STYLING & COORDINATION

Lucrezia gives each village its form as a wedding. She designs the set and the styling, coordinates the logistics of the day, and dresses every space the celebration touches — the table under the loggia, the piazza at dusk, the chamber where the couple says yes.

Chiara

PHOTOGRAPHY

Chiara is the project's photographer — a photography graduate who documents the villages and the weddings held inside them. Hers are the images that carry the Marche to couples and planners abroad.

CURATED PARTNERS

A short list, by design.

Each partner does one thing the village needs — and does it where no one outside these agreements can go. We complete a planner's vendor list; we don't replace it.

Le Marche Full Experience

LOCAL EXPERIENCES

A certified guide of the Marche, Alessia opens the doors only a local knows how to find. She design experiences around the wedding to each couple's taste, from lace-making with the tombolo artisans of Offida to afternoons among the vines, so the guests meet the region the way the people who live here do.

InVita

FIRE CATERING

Invita, led by Adriano, tailors every menu around the season and the region's own producers, cooked over the grill or without it, classic, vegetarian or vegan. His team can set up food stations in the piazza or inside the chosen palazzo, open to all the guests, so the food becomes part of the celebration.

PlayMarche

TECHNICAL SIGNATURE

Led by Raffaele, PlayMarche is a University of Macerata spin-off with more than ten years in architectural video mapping. With a full team of video designers and technicians, they create immersive moments with custom films projected straight onto the façades of historic palazzi, and inside their halls, the kind of buildings that only a direct agreement with the municipality lets us open. Their work runs from the Sferisterio of Macerata to festivals abroad.

WHERE WE ARE

In the Heart of Le Marche

We work in the southern Marche, between the provinces of Fermo and Ascoli Piceno — an hour from the Adriatic coast and within reach of the Sibillini mountains. Four villages, each a short drive from the next: Moresco, Lapedona, Carassai and Monte Rinaldo.


Nearest airport: Ancona–Falconara (AOI), about one hour. Rome and Bologna are roughly two and a half to three hours by road.
