Italy has always been one of the world’s most sought-after destination wedding locations, with more than 15,000 weddings involving international couples celebrated every year.
In recent years, Francavilla al Mare, a town renowned for its art, excellent food and natural beauty, has increasingly become known as a true Town of Love. More and more couples are choosing to celebrate their civil union in the wonderful venues offered by the town.
Francavilla provides unique settings for civil ceremonies: from the pier overlooking the sea to the Michetti Museum, from the garden of the historic Michetti Convent to Piazza Adriatico, as well as the golden sands of its beaches.
Each location reflects the charm of a town where history, culture and nature come together.
