Armored and strictly private wedding
between the 30-year-old Olympic champion in high jump and gold medal at the European Championships with his historic partner in one of the most evocative locations in the Marche: an
ancient noble villa
, dating back to the second half of the fifteenth century, belonged to the Sforza, the della Rovere, the Albani, with a main building full of frescoed rooms and then courtyards, terraces and Italian gardens, where a tensile structure was set up for the occasion.
