Perched on one of Rome’s most scenic hills stands Villa Aurelia.
On June 24, 2023, this historic villa hosted the wedding in Rome of Tatiana and Richard, an American couple who chose to honor the bride’s Italian roots in a setting of unmatched beauty and history.

A dream venue: Villa Aurelia
Located on the Janiculum, one of Rome’s seven hills, Villa Aurelia offers breathtaking views over the Eternal City.
The villa, with its expansive gardens and frescoed halls, epitomizes elegance and style. The choice of this venue was no accident: beyond the beauty of the villa, its central location enabled guests, mostly from New York City, to enjoy Rome’s marvels during their stay.
A multicultural wedding
Tatiana and Richard’s wedding was a true mix of traditions.

Moreover, with 164 guests primarily from New York, but also from various parts of the world, the wedding served as a true international meeting point. The presence of friends and family from different nations made the atmosphere even more special and celebratory, highlighting the importance of origins and traditions.
