A Scultura Infinita Celebration in Tuscany
Scultura Infinita was more than a wedding; it was an artistic journey woven across three unforgettable days in the heart of Tuscany. Set at the historic Villa Vignamaggio, this destination celebration brought together fashion, art history, and immersive storytelling in a way that transformed the entire estate into a living, breathing gallery of romance. Every moment felt intentionally crafted, as if each detail had been shaped by the hands of a sculptor drawing inspiration from centuries of Italian beauty.
The experience began with a poetic welcome dinner nestled between the rolling Chianti vineyards, where guests were greeted with an atmosphere that blended rustic charm with artistic refinement. This graceful prelude paved the way for a couture-forward ceremony framed by floating drapes and soft Tuscan light, setting the stage for a union that felt both timeless and boldly expressive. The bride’s fashion journey, moving through Oscar de la Renta, Danielle Frankel, Vivienne Westwood, and vintage Dior, unfolded like chapters in a style anthology, mirrored by the groom’s own evolution from Prada to Giorgio Armani and Maison Margiela.
Each event, meticulously planned by Giritaly, felt like stepping inside a curated exhibition. Guests dined atop iconic Ginori porcelain, savored Michelin-starred cuisine, and found themselves surrounded by living sculptures, powerful gospel performances, and Renaissance masterpieces projected across the villa’s walls. By the final evening, Scultura Infinita had become a world of its own, a theatrical, sensory-rich celebration where love was not only witnessed but artistically experienced.
The Welcome Dinner: An Anti-Dolce Vita Fiesta
For the welcome dinner, the planners envisioned an Italian evening, though not in the classic Dolce Vita sense. Instead, their goal was to immerse guests in the raw, heartfelt spirit of Tuscany, where the true essence of any gathering lies not only in the food or scenery, but in the people who bring it to life. With this in mind, the motto “Amici, Amore, Famiglia”—friends, love, and family—was chosen to honor the relationships that had grown over the years and were now being celebrated together. These meaningful words were delicately embroidered on linen napkins placed on top of each plate, setting a warm and authentic tone from the outset.
Hosted within the historic winery of Casa Ruffino, the evening paid tribute to Tuscan heritage with bold flavors, generous pours of local wine, and a palette of soft blues and reds blending beautifully with the surrounding green hills. The tables were adorned with wild, unstructured arrangements of braided grass and petal-less sunflowers, a design choice inspired by the land’s honest, rustic beauty. Rather than striving for polished perfection, the team embraced a more natural and intentional aesthetic—bringing the Tuscan hills directly to the table.
Guests entered through the vineyards as the sounds of a live musical trio filled the air, creating an intimate and joyful atmosphere. The bride and groom soon arrived in a vintage Alfa Romeo, greeted with cheers that marked the start of the celebration. The bride, radiant in a romantic Oscar de la Renta floral gown paired with Manolo Blahnik heels, embodied the evening’s effortless elegance, while the groom, dressed in a refined Prada ensemble, complemented her with understated sophistication. The night unfolded as a tribute to connection, heritage, and Tuscany’s soulful charm—an anti-Dolce Vita celebration that felt authentic in every way.

The Wedding: Scultura Infinita
The wedding emerged from a singular, poetic vision, a tribute to Florence’s sculptural heritage reinterpreted through a contemporary, immersive lens. Titled Scultura Infinita (“Sculpted Forever”), the concept honored the enduring power of form, design, and emotion.
For the bride, a visual designer, it felt natural to draw inspiration from the world’s most iconic three-dimensional art: sculpture. Florence, the birthplace of Renaissance masterpieces, became the ideal backdrop for this artistic narrative.
The creative journey began long before guests arrived. The custom wedding website, designed by the bride, opened with a 4D animation of Michelangelo’s David, his head emerging from the screen as florals blossomed around him—foreshadowing the botanical motifs woven into the celebration. This artwork became the wedding’s signature visual, appearing on guest keepsakes and echoed throughout the venue in the form of fragmented statue elements—hands, busts, and faces— subtly integrated into the design. At the center of the visual identity stood Amore e Psiche (Cupid and Psyche) by Antonio Canova, reimagined as the couple’s emblem of eternal love.
The venue, Il Borgo di Vignamaggio, nestled in the heart of Chianti, brought the concept into physical form. A 15th-century estate restored after decades of silence, it embodied the harmony between historic grandeur and modern artistic expression. A striking feature—a 17-meter concrete table in the courtyard—inspired the couple’s vision for a communal, sculptural dining experience. After a year of close creative collaboration with the bride, the team shaped Scultura Infinita into a celebration where every moment held intention and every detail carried meaning.
The ceremony unfolded like a dream sequence: an ethereal garden framed by floating drapes and wild, untamed florals, designed to evoke the sensation of stepping into a Renaissance painting. The palette was earthy and organic, echoing the bride’s hand-painted Danielle Frankel gown—a floral composition that moved with the Tuscan breeze. Her entrance felt like a living homage to Botticelli’s Primavera, at once iconic and deeply emotive.
Following the ceremony, guests were ushered into the La Tavola Commune Aperitivo space, inspired by the villa’s monumental concrete table. Conceived as a sensory sculpture of flavor and form, it featured amuse-bouches by Enoteca La Torre and black calla lilies by White Pepper Studio. Renaissance-punk performers wandered through the setting, handing out tongue-in-cheek tarot cards and drawing guests deeper into the artistic world of the celebration.
The reception carried the theatricality even further. Guests entered La Piazza through cascading silk curtains and a bold magenta carpet, a striking contrast to the estate’s dusty pink façade. There, two human-statue acrobats performed before the villa, while long tables draped in knotted silk overflowed with orchids, hydrangeas, and mystical burgundy blooms. The family table, designed with soft, ethereal knots, captured the balance of delicacy and edge. Living sculptures mingled among the guests, cosmopolitans flowed from a sculptural fountain, and even the butter was molded into miniature Davids. The villa’s walls were transformed into an open-air gallery through projections of works by da Vinci, Michelangelo, Monet, Van Gogh, and Botticelli.
Dinner became its own artistic showcase: each Ginori plate a canvas, each course a visual and gastronomic experience. Dessert arrived in the form of a four-meter artisanal cassata cake, assembled live on a vintage crochet-draped table. The entertainment wove together Arabic soul, gospel harmonies, string quartets, Italian live bands, and curated DJ sets—creating an ever-evolving symphony of sound.
At midnight, a projection of punk-renaissance figures reappeared with the ticking of a clock, signaling the next chapter. As the characters “came to life,” they guided guests by lantern light to the secret afterparty: Renaissance Rendez-vous. Earlier tarot cards had hinted at this moment. Inside, guests found velvet drapery, surreal performers, silver chariots serving mini burgers, and a visual world that blended Baroque opulence with rebellious flair.
The bride, Sara, stunned with three couture bridal looks: a hand-painted Danielle Frankel gown and veil with matching shoes; a timeless Vivienne Westwood silhouette paired with Aquazzura heels; and finally, a vintage Dior corset with an Alberta Ferretti skirt and Dries Van Noten silver sneakers for the afterparty. The groom, Samer, transitioned from a refined Giorgio Armani ensemble to a bold Maison Margiela look. Bridesmaids glowed in Maria Lucia Hohan gowns, aligning beautifully with the sculptural palette.
Every emotion and intricate detail was captured through the artistic eyes of Raquel Benito and Monica Leggio, with Waterfall Visuals translating the moments into cinematic motion—turning the experience into an eternal work of art.
This was more than a wedding. It was an opera of design. A sculptural love story.A memory carved into time.

The Brunch: #TheToastedClub
The morning after the celebration, guests reconvened for a sunlit and easygoing farewell at a poolside brunch nestled among the vineyards of Vignamaggio. Playfully named The Toasted Club, the gathering welcomed everyone with a witty message:“We know you’re toasted… but join us for one last toast—with a side of toast?”It set the tone for a lighthearted and joyful finale, offering a gentle transition from the grandeur of the wedding festivities to a warm, relaxed farewell.
Set against the rolling Tuscan hills, the brunch created a final moment of connection—an opportunity for guests to savor the magic of the weekend in a more intimate and casual environment. The design drew heavily from the estate’s terracotta tones, extending these hues into every thoughtful detail. Striped terracotta-and-white linens, playful floaties gliding across the pool, soft towels, sun-shielding hats, and elegant brunch prints all contributed to an atmosphere that felt both laid-back and effortlessly stylish.
As the morning unfolded, guests wandered through the gardens and hidden corners of Vignamaggio, discovering spaces they may have missed amid the wedding’s whirlwind pace. With gentle music drifting through the air and sunshine spilling across the vineyards, The Toasted Club offered a quintessential Tuscan farewell—warm, charming, and infused with heart.
