The main purpose of our Italy trip was to attend a friend’s wedding in Orvieto. We decided if we were going to travel that far then we may as well spend time in Rome. Which we did and I highlighted on the links below:
We took a train from Rome to Orvieto on September 4th, arriving just in time to attend the Welcome Pizza Party. It was the beginning of a beautiful weekend.
The wedding events were held at two venues, Torre Collevento and Pietra Campana. Both are located outside of town, in wine country.
Our hotel in Orvieto was the stunning Palazzo Piccolomini. Our room was huge! It actually took 4 keys to get into the room. One each for the building, the foyer, the main living area and then the bedroom.
Friday, September 5th was the rehearsal dinner held at Pietra Campana. The views of Orvieto from there are magnificent. You can see the Duomo of Orvieto, which makes a great backdrop for photos. Click the bolded link to read about this magnificent cathedral.
We took a tour of the Duomo on Saturday, September 6th before getting ready for the wedding. It was gorgeous on the inside. As usual, I took way too many photos to share, but here are a few.
The wedding was held at Pietra Campana. Since the couple had a wedding photographer, guests were asked not to take pictures of the ceremony. We will receive photos later. I can share the few I took of the grounds.
We were shuttled to Torre Collevento for the reception.
The weather could not have been nicer. We had excellent food, wine and desserts the entire weekend.
After enjoying a farewell breakfast on Sunday morning, we took the train back to Rome.
We had an early Monday morning flight, so we stayed at a hotel near the airport Sunday night. Surprisingly, hotel food is even delicious in Rome.
We enjoyed one last cappuccino in the airport’s Prima Vista Lounge before boarding our flight home.
Looking tired but it was a great time!
Thank you for following our little adventure. Tomorrow’s post will be a quilty one.
See you soon!

Wow, you clearly had a great time. I would love to see those buildings in person. The design details are amazing in those historic buildings.
Another set of amazing photos!!
What a great location for a wedding! Loved seeing your pictures. Beautiful!!
I'm a little sad that this is the finale, but oh what a finale! The room you stayed in - omg! The Duomo is incredible - can't believe it was built to house an altar cloth, took 3 centuries to build, and was all done so very long ago. The views everywhere you look are magnificent. You and your hubs sure dress up nice! You look so pretty, especially in the dress you wore to the wedding. Thank you for sharing your pics with us, I enjoyed every single one.
Beautiful photos, dear Jeanna! It definitely does look impressive! Thank you so much for sharing!
What an amazing trip, Jeanna! I've really enjoyed your posts about it. And what a wedding venue - wow! I was interested in those airplane seats you had. My hubby and I have never traveled internationally, but with seats like those I think we could be comfortable! I bet you'll enjoy these photos for years to come!
So lovely to see pictures of the amazing Duomo again - I think mine went the way of most of my pictures from that time in my life😒I still have the two pots that I bought from a small pottery opposite the Duomo though and I love them still. What a fantastic wedding - they certainly know how to put on a good wedding on the continent. Great trip = I have enjoyed reading all about your travels, thank you. xx
