Ever dreamt of getting married in front of an original fresco by 15th century painter Piero della Francesca?
This unique hamlet overlooking the Apennines is the perfect destination for those who want to discover the real Tuscany and where to admire one of the masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance.
Set like a precious diamond along the ancient walls of the village, in fact, the Madonna del Parto shines here in all her magnificence. The fresco was painted by Piero della Francesca, a pivotal artist of the Italian Renaissance, and is a destination for art lovers, who come to admire it from all over the world.
The soft gentleness that shines through the fresco permeates the whole village.
Gentle is the road that leads to the heart of the village and that winds along the sides of the hill, skirting ancient walls and passing in front of historic palazzi, including the 16th century Palazzo Massi-Alberti, house to the Museo delle Bilance .
Gentle is the air under the lime trees in the square, which in summer offer fragrant moments of serenity to those who stop to chat on the benches, maybe while tasting a glass of wine from the wine shop opposite.
Gentle is the view of the valley looking towards Umbria, where yellow sunflowers paint the horizon and the gaze reaches the walls of the Umbrian hamlet of Citerna to the east.
Just as soft and gentle can be your wedding here, for which Monterchi offers its alleys, terraces and the entire square, for a dream event with up to 75 guests.
Monterchi is the ideal destination for lovers of art to tie the knot. This is in fact home to the Madonna del Parto – Our Lady of Childbirth – the famous fresco by the Quattrocento artist Piero della Francesca, painted between 1455 and 1465.
Here you can have the privilege of exchanging vows in front of this masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance! It’s a rare opportunity that will make your wedding day even more special.
In Summer, Monterchi hosts many music festivals, from traditional music to jazz; in September the square turns for three days into an open-air kitchen for the unmissable Polenta Fair, the rich, traditional dish consisting of coarsely ground corn, served with delicious sauces, roasted meat, or local fried mushrooms.
