The Ceremony
We intend to hold a civil service at Cortona Town Hall on 21st June.
Cortona is situated in the southermost part of Tuscany, near towns such as Arezzo and
Orvieto and about 25 minutes from Villa Fontelunga.
The little hill town of Cortona is the perfect place to be centered in Italy. Recently
made known to a larger public due to the books and film of Frances Mayers - Under The
Tuscan Sun, Cortona really is as depicted in these works - a medieval unspoilt oasis of
great food, wonderful people, olive groves, poppies in May, sunflowers in June, sun, culture
and relaxation.
The town hall is a stunning medieval palace, in the historic central part of the
of the town. The Sala dei Consiglieri, where the wedding is held, has been for
the last 400 years, and is still, the seat of the assembly of the town's government.
