THE VILLA HOTEL OUTSIDE OF FLORENCE – VILLA CASAGRANDE
The Villa Casagrande dates back to the end of the C14th and was built by a Florentine notary called Ser Ristoro, who arrived in Florence in 1384 where he became a notary for the ruling court. His descendants went on to present the Medicis with ten standard bearers and twenty-seven priors.
At the entrance to the building there is a collection of important Serristori family items: fragments of original and reproduced inscriptions, crests and coats of arms of representatives, commissioners, powers and captains which can still also be seen in the various Pretori Palaces in Tuscany, vouching for the services given by the Serristoris to the republic of Italy.
The Villa immediately became a meeting place for artists and philosophers. The famous humanist, Marsilio Ficino, delivered his lectures to the Serristoris and various aristocrats at the birth of the renaissance period at the Villa Casagrande.
The Rooms: Villa Casagrande, formerly a residence of artistic heritage frequented by kings, queens and popes, has been recently restored and is now a luxurious hotel. Here guests will enjoy their stay living among its historical splendor and the graciousness and beauty of its formal gardens
The 60 bedrooms have been furnished with modern comforts, taking care not to spoil the charm of this 13th century building. The rooms, standard and superior double, are all equipped with satellite TV, air conditioning, mini bar and telephone.
Restaurant: The restaurant, situated in the old weaponry room, in the winter and in the shade of the courtyard in the warm summer months, offers a typical Tuscan cuisine to be complemented by one of the excellent Chianti wines produced by the farm. Guests may eat either in the restaurant or outside in the beautiful cloister.
Breakfast: The ancient kitchen, where the Countess used to spend her days, is where the guests of the hotel meet to have their breakfast, enjoy a nice cup of coffee and receive a friendly welcome, breathing scents and flavours of local tradition.
Wellness Centre: Built into the old ramparts guests will find a swimming pool, a sauna, a fitness room, beauty treatments and massages on request. In a separate wing of the building there is a Day-clinic for plastic surgery directed by Dr. Cesare Luccioli together with his daughter Cinzia and his son Paolo. The villa which was in the Serristori family for six centuries from the middle age until Italian unification in the 19th century has today found, with the Luccioli family, a new lease of life harmonising past and present time in accordance with it's long history.
Products: One part of the building is dedicated to the farm activities. The wine production, which is also rich in history and tradition, goes back to the 16th century when the Serristori family began producing excellent wines and a high quality olive oil. The ancient wine cellar, with it's great old vats still visible, is a testimony to this heritage. Inside the property are organised nice tours of the noble apartment and a visit of the "Cantina" followed by a delightful wine tasting. Next to the "Cantina" there is a small museum with an exhibition ofthe agricultural utensils used by our ancestors

Wedding Requirements for US Citizens
In fact there are only 3 items that are necessary to marry in Italy.
To marry in Italy an ATTO NOTORIO is required, this is in effect an AFFIDAVIT done before the ITALIAN CONSULATE (or in Italy). To obtain it, you must first have certain documents.
DOCUMENTS NEEDED BEFORE to OBTAIN ATTO NOTORIO:
1. US passport
2. Birth certificate
3. If previously divorced/widowed, your divorce decree or death certificate
Here are some clarifications for the most frequently asked questions...
1. ATTO NOTORIO (Done by you in US or we can arrange for it to be done in Italy) - what it is.
It consists of a meeting in front of the Italian Consulate with witnesses in which a declaration relative to the civil status (single, divorced etc…) of the couple is made. An official document is then drawn up to present to us for filing purposes here in Italy. Please be sure that at the top of the page of the Atto Notorio the detail " Repubblica Italiana" and "Consolato Generale D'Italia" are specifically written, otherwise the Atto Notorio is not valid.
You need to set up an appointment yourselves with the nearest Italian Consulate to where you live and ask how many witnesses are required - it varies from location to location. Eventually if you choose to, the Atto Notorio CAN be done in Italy for a fee.
TRANSLATIONS REQUIRED
Your Birth and or divorce/death certificates must be translated into Italian and Apostilled through the Secretary of State's Notary Public of the state the document originated in. The translations are authenticated by the Italian Consulate. Our company does provide translation services.
2. APOSTILLE - (Done via mail)
This peculiar word means that the original documents (birth and, if applicable, divorce) which need to be presented to the Italian Consulate have been:
• Sent to the Secretary of State's Notary Public of the state from which the document originally is from for authentication (or Apostille seal).
• The APOSTILLE is simply the seal of the Notary Public of the State in accordance with the Hague Convention, which means that the documents can be used officially even in a foreign country. It is NOT a regular Notary Public stamp!!
3. NULLA OSTA and PREFECT'S OFFICE (done with our staff/coordinator in Italy)
We assist with this, it takes at most a few hours and must be done approximately 3 weekdays prior to the wedding.
The Nulla Osta is the final declaration to be made IN ITALY before the US CONSULATE or EMBASSY stating that you are free to marry. Cost is approximately $50 per person give or take $5/$10. You must pay in CASH, we cannot pay for you.
Then this NULLA OSTA must be authenticated in the nearest Prefect's office (we do this for you but you must come along!).
ATTENTION PLEASE!!
Please note that it is extremely important that your full name is written in the same way in all the following documents, otherwise the wedding office will not accept the paperwork:
• PASSPORTS
• ATTO NOTORIO
• NULLA OSTA
This is something that can happen if:
• You have more surnames and they are not always expressly listed in all documents
• The future bride has already been married before and is still keeping the name of her ex-husband. In this case please be sure that your passport, Atto Notorio and Nulla Osta contains your maiden name
Here is a step-by-step explanation of what you must do:
1. Send us LEGIBLE copies of your passports, in addition to the following information for you, your future husband, your best man, and your maid of honor: full name, date and place of birth, current address (legal residence), and profession.
2. Order your birth certificates (and divorce decrees, if applicable) and request the Apostille from the state you were born in. The apostilles can not be required earlier than 6 months before the wedding.
3. Once you have requested your birth certificates (and divorce decrees) make an appointment with the Italian Consulate for your Atto Notorio. This document can not be issued more than 3 months before the wedding otherwise it will expire.
You must bring several witnesses with you to the appointment. Some Consulates require only 2 witnesses per couple (not relatives) to witness the Atto, while others can require up to 4 per person to appear (a total of 8), so find out how many people must come with you. The witnesses that accompany you to the Italian Consulate don't necessarily have to be your best man and maid of honor; other people who know you can act as your witnesses at the Italian Consulate.
4. Get the birth certificates (and divorce decrees) translated before you go to the Italian Consulate. If you prefer, you can fax them to us for translation; there is a Euro 40 fee per certificate (with the exception of multiple-page documents, for which there is an extra charge).
5. Go with the correct number of witnesses to the Italian Consulate in the US for your Atto Notorio. Bring the originals (with the Apostille) and the translations of your birth certificates (and divorce decrees) to this appointment. Make sure that the Consulate stamps the translations of your documents if the Consulate did not do the translations themselves.
6. Right after your appointment at the Italian Consulate, fax us copies of all of your documents. We will check everything and continue the paperwork on this end. Keep the originals and hand carry them when you come to Italy (don't check them at the airport).
7. IN ITALY: several days before your wedding - (generally 3 working days prior), go with our local assistant to the US Consulate in to get the Nulla Osta (sometimes referred to as the sworn statement). Bring all of the originals of your documents and your passports with you. After the US Consulate visit, you will be accompanied with our assistant to the Prefettura, where a government official will authenticate your documents. Finally, our assistant there will take everything to the town hall where you will be married, so that they can finish the paperwork.
PAPERWORK EXPIRES AFTER 3 MONTHS - do not complete sooner.
A woman who has been divorced less than 300 days from the proposed wedding date cannot have a civil ceremony, symbolic only.
AND MORE FOR Catholic Wedding Requirements
In bold: the documents required.
1. Formal letter from your parish priest granting permission for the wedding to be performed in the church of __________________.
This letter is required by the Italian Curia to show that you have received permission from your parish priest to have your wedding ceremony performed. It should certify that your priest knows you and allows you to get married at the Italian Church of XXXXXX at the date XXXXX. This letter needs to be written on the letterhead paper of your Parish.
2. Your priest should also secure a letter from the Bishop of the parish stating the same as in # 1 and this letter should also be written on letterhead.
The Bishop's permission to the wedding is one of the most important requirements for the Italian Curia. It must certify that you have no impediment to get married at the Italian Church of XXXXXX (name of the church) at the date XXXXX (the date you are asking). This letter needs to be written on the letterhead paper of your Bishop's office. This letter shows that approval has been given by the authority over the priest who has written the letter referred in # 1.
3. The letter from the priest must also state that you have fulfilled all PRE CANA procedures, and should include the certificate (if a certificate was done) showing that you attended the premarital classes.
4. The Original prenuptial inquiry form has to be issued by your parish and be on formal church letterhead of your Parish. The prenuptial inquiry form is not just the certificate but rather a type of signed questionnaire with church seals/signatures. Moreover this document must be stamped by the local Bishop's office (NOT just your priest).
A PRENUPTIAL INQUIRY is issued by the archdiocese of your city/town. It is the prenuptial investigation that includes your dates, names and general religious data which your priest completes together with you. Your priest completes the questionnaire stating it has been approved so you can get married, signing the document as final approval. Then this document has to be sealed by your local Bishop, so the Italian Curia has the proof that it has been definitely approved by a higher member of the Catholic Church in your country.
5. ALL certificates of baptism, first communion and confirmation must be sent together with the Prenuptial inquiry form and letters mentioned in # 1, # 2 and must also be stamped by the local Bishop's office.
All these sacraments have to be received in order to have the Catholic wedding performed. Ask your Parish who performed these sacraments to provide these certificates. If you have problems obtaining the originals, ask for copies that have to be sealed by your local bishop. The seals of the bishop, are required on these documents by the Italian Curia.
6. Original of the civil wedding certificate, (in event the Italian priest will not perform the civil part of the marriage the civil ceremony must be performed prior to the religious ceremony and that original certificate must be presented to the Italian priest) This would apply if you are not asking to be civilly married at the same wedding ceremony in Italy or in case that the Italian priest should not be able to do the civil and religious wedding together).
Determined on a case by case basis. In case you will receive the Catholic wedding and not the civil one at the Italian church you need to provide the civil wedding certificate. Please note: Not only the wedding licence (issued in USA) but the original certificate that you are legally married.
7. If one of you are not Catholic you will be required to obtain another document such as "Permission of mixed religions" to testify that the wedding celebration can be performed by the Italian Church.
Generally this document is issued by the local Bishop of your country. Ask this information to your Parish, so they can help you to obtain this special permission.
All the documents mentioned (excluding # 6) MUST have been sealed or stamped by the Bishop's parish office.
ALL THE COPIES OF THESE DOCUMENTS SHOULD BE SENT TO US VIA FAX.
It is necessary for us to receive copies of all of these documents to verify with the Italian Church that they are complete.
At a later date you will be asked to send all the ORIGINALS directly to the Italian Curia, so they can proceed with the preparation of documents. It is not possible to complete the Catholic marriage requirements without providing the originals documents. If time does not permit, it is possible for you to bring the originals with you, however, we do not recommend using this option unless absolutely necessary.
We are happy to translate your documents for the Italian priest as required for an additional fee.
NOTE: The Italian priest or Curia has final say on granting official permission for the wedding to move forward after seeing the paperwork.
The agency does not have authority over religious regulations.
Keep the original documents with you, do not send these here in Italy before receiving the Italian Church approval based on the copies you send us.
FOLLOWING OUR INSTRUCTIONS WILL HELP MAKE YOUR WEDDING GO MORE EFFICIENTLY.
Catholic requirements** The above refer to a couple that has never been married previously. If you have been divorced in the Catholic church and your marriage was not officially annulled you cannot marry in the Catholic church. Please advise us if you have had your marriage annulled.
Documents should not be done more than 3 months in advance or they expire. (exception of the baptism, holy communion and confirmation, that are issued when you received these sacraments).
For Catholic weddings only (not including the Civil portion), a certificate of civil marriage (note that the marriage license is not enough), is also required. The civil wedding certificate never expires. The only case is that the couple has divorced and want to get married again in the Church. In this case a civil reconciliation is required.
This is an idea of what we can do, all options can be customized to suit you. Documentation is unflexible.
