A Sacred Vow: The Consecrated Frescobaldi Chapel
For couples wishing to marry in a Christian ceremony, Villa
Bibbiani's consecrated private chapel offers a rare and
deeply personal setting.
Original to the villa and consecrated by Pope Clement XII,
the chapel has been meticulously restored. Its frescoes,
sacred art and exquisite architectural details create an
intimate atmosphere filled with history and meaning.
Ceremonies are subject to the applicable religious
requirements and prior confirmation.
Pope Clement XIII
A Papal Patron: Who Was Pope Clement XIII?
The Pope who bestowed this rare honor upon Villa Bibbiani was Carlo Rezzonico of Venice, who reigned as Pope Clement XIII from 1758 to 1769.
Born into Venetian nobility, his papacy is remembered for his immense personal conviction and his patronage of the arts during the high Neoclassical period. He is most famous for his steadfast defense of the Jesuit Order against the unified political pressure of Europe's most powerful monarchs.
The fact that he granted a Perpetual Indulgence in 1767, at the direct personal request of Giuseppe Frescobaldi, was an extraordinary act of grace. It was a sign of deep personal favor, demonstrating the remarkable standing and influence the Frescobaldi family held in Rome, and forever linking the Villa to the highest levels of the Vatican.
Endless Possibilities for Your Celebration
The chapel tells a rare and moving story of a father and son, a testament to family devotion and legacy.
The story begins with the lower plaque, which records that in 1754, the noble Francesco Frescobaldi (FRANCISCVS FRESCOBALDIVS) honored the ancient spirit of the land. He had a sacred altar stone retrieved from the ancient crypt of a local saint, Saint Grania, and installed it here to be "more elegantly adorned."
The story is completed by the plaque above it. In 1767, Francesco’s son, Giuseppe Frescobaldi (IOSEPHI . F . FRANCISCI), petitioned His Holiness Pope Clement XIII for the ultimate blessing. As a personal favor, the Pope granted a Perpetual Plenary Indulgence to this very altar, a decree that forever ties the Villa and the Frescobaldi name to the grace of the Vatican.
To exchange your vows here is to stand upon a sacred relic, blessed by a Pope, in a chapel built as an act of enduring family love. It offers a sense of history and divine favor that simply cannot be replicated.

The "Arco dell'Uomo": A Vow Before Eternity
For the most spectacular and deeply moving outdoor ceremony, Villa Bibbiani offers the "Arco dell'Uomo" — The Arch of Man.
Created by Cosimo Ridolfi in the 19th century, the
monumental Arco dell'Uomo is one of Villa Bibbiani's most
distinctive landmarks.
Framed by mature trees and the natural richness of the
estate, it offers a romantic open-air setting for symbolic ceremonies and blessings.
The atmosphere is both intimate and theatrical-an
unforgettable place in which to exchange vows surrounded
by family and friends.
Celebrations in the gardens
Villa Bibbiani's gardens lend themselves to many styles of
reception-from a relaxed welcome gathering or cocktail
hour to an elegant seated celebration with dining and
entertainment.
Formal hedges, mature trees and the architecture of the
estate form a graceful setting from afternoon into evening,
enhanced by flowers, candlelight and festoon lighting.
Every arrangement is planned to complement the occasion,
the guest experience and the natural rhythm of the estate.
Celebrations by the pool
The pool garden offers a relaxed yet elegant setting for
welcome drinks, cocktail receptions and celebrations
beside the water.
Sculpted greenery, mature cypress trees and the blue of
the pool create a distinctly Tuscan atmosphere, equally
beautiful in the afternoon or as the light begins to soften.
The setting can be arranged around the desired style of
service and entertainment, subject to the event plan and
weather conditions.
