Sposarsi nelle Terre di Carricino
There are many fascinating landscapes and unexpected "locations" in Abruzzo for celebrating weddings, such as the dreamy atmospheres of the past at Palazzo Tilli in Casoli, the medieval castle of Roccascalegna, and the nostalgic Old Town of Gessopalena with its infinite horizons.
Abruzzo is one of the new sought-after destinations for wedding tourism, making the bond of love even more magical. There are countless enchanting settings that accompany the union of two hearts promising eternal and poetic love, in good times and bad. The region offers fascinating landscapes and evocative structures (locations) that are perfect for celebrating the vow of love, fidelity, and companionship, with a special and immersive atmosphere for a religious or civil ceremony that will remain forever etched in the couple's DNA, whether traditional or multigender.
In particular, in the region of the Lands of Carricino in the province of Chieti, between the Sangro and Aventino rivers and the majestic backdrop of the UNESCO Maiella Geopark, there are places that offer charming settings to say "I do," such as the dreamy atmospheres of the 18th-century Palazzo Tilli in Casoli, the medieval castle of Roccascalegna, or the nostalgic Old Town of Gessopalena with its splendid sunsets and horizons that extend to D’Annunzio’s "trembling sea" of the Adriatic.
Palazzo Tilli in Casoli was built in the 18th century and is one of the jewels of Abruzzo's artistic and architectural heritage, as it represents an exemplary case of construction that has remained intact to this day. The palace, located in the heart of Casoli, rises over four floors, with cellars, a private chapel, and a succession of ancient rooms with vaulted ceilings decorated with frescoes depicting allegorical hunting scenes, weapons, and floral motifs. It belonged to the family of Don Guglielmo Innocenzo Tilli until 2013, when it was acquired by Pescara entrepreneur Antonella Allegrino, who undertook a sumptuous restoration imbued with intense romanticism, creating the ideal setting for a wedding celebration and a love story.
The prestigious historic residence of Palazzo Tilli, which also features an impressive panoramic terrace that majestically overlooks the Maiella, is a succession of finely decorated rooms reflecting the splendor of the 18th century, whose enveloping atmospheres transport you back in time, where every detail is designed to create special and unforgettable moments. The renovated Palazzo Tilli, which also functions as a resort, is a jewel of Abruzzo's artistic and architectural heritage, where a "dream wedding" long envisioned and cherished becomes a reality, with its charming setting for the memories of the most beautiful day of two hearts in love.
Once upon a time... Only with this familiar beginning of all fairy tales can the story of the Medieval Castle of Roccascalegna begin. Its chronicles unfold and merge between history and legend, between reality and dream, creating its magical millenary essence that rises majestically into the sky on a dominant hill. The Medieval Castle, one of the most renowned in Abruzzo, with its walls clinging to the cliff, has become a cultural center of Roccascalegna and a suggestive location for romantic weddings and a privileged set for historical films. Due to its dreamy and fantastic scenery, scenes from "The Name of the Rose" and Matteo Garrone's "Tale of Tales" have been filmed here and have traveled around the world. A setting similar to "Disney-style" serves as a festive and grand backdrop for all lovers exchanging wedding rings here. In the same medieval atmospheres of the castle's rooms, a buffet dinner can be served, transforming them into a grand ballroom to close the wedding day in style before enjoying the delights of the honeymoon.
Other atmospheres and other floral settings coexist in the Old Town of Gessopalena. The historic residences of the village, destroyed during World War II, have been reborn after careful restoration, appearing like a nostalgic film set against the backdrop of the Maiella. Saying "I do" at sunset, with the evergreen alleyways and ruined houses illuminated by the last rays of the sun, creates a harmonious and ethereal setting. The elegance and luxury of a couple's love being crowned in the old village of Gessopalena lie precisely in the timeless glamour that can be felt there. The archaeology of the past, with its stories, continues to amaze, and everything contributes to creating an atmosphere that seems unreal for a wedding day and its romantic and sublime memory that will endure over the years.
