For many years now couples have dreamt of tying the matrimonial knot within this magnificent mansion with its 16th century rooms and splendid gardens. And finally, thanks to the Comune di Chiavenna the possibility of celebrating a very special day at the stately home in Piuro has received the green light.

Proposals should be submitted to the Consorzio Turistico Valchiavenna (0039 0343 37485) who will then liaise with the local authority. There are a whole host of options on offer.

Bride and groom will be afforded access to the mansion to make all necessary arrangements in order to create the perfect ambience for the ceremony itself, and guests will be able to enjoy guided tours of this extraordinary alpine ‘gem’. It’s a proposal which means for that very special day Piuro will throw open the doors of its magnificent heritage to the couple’s family and friends, ensuring a particularly memorable occasion.
