“What truly sets the Castello del Capitano delle Artiglierie apart is its exceptional location, offering the best of both worlds: nestled in the Emilia-Romagna region, it provides the charm and beauty of Tuscany, while remaining in a tranquil, less-traveled corner of Italy. For couples looking to marry in Tuscany, but seeking something off the beaten path, our venue offers a unique alternativeโ€”without compromising on the stunning landscapes and romantic ambiance the region is famous for. Another standout feature is our exclusive, on-site disco, where you and your guests can dance the night away until 5 AM. After outdoor music ends, the indoor space comes alive, giving you the freedom to keep the celebration going well into the early hours.”
