In the heart of the Sienese hills, in Chiusdino, stands something truly unique in the world: a roofless 13th-century Gothic abbey, whose medieval walls open directly onto the Tuscan sky. The Abbey of San Galgano is not simply a venue — it is a place where history, silence, and beauty merge into something almost surreal. And we at ContentLove were there to tell its story.
The Abbey of San Galgano: the most romantic open-air church in Italy
Built in the 1200s by Cistercian monks in the province of Siena, the Abbey of San Galgano is today one of the most sought-after wedding venues in Tuscany, attracting couples from all over the world. Its Gothic walls rise toward the sky with nothing above them: no roof, no floor — just grass, stone, and light. A setting that, even without any decoration, has the power to move you.
Nearby stands the Hermitage of Montesiepi, home to the famous Sword in the Stone, a symbol of the legend of San Galgano. A place of history, mystery, and allure that makes this destination even more special for couples who choose this corner of Tuscany for the most important day of their lives.
Veronica and Alberto’s wedding: when the “I do” becomes the backdrop
Veronica and Alberto chose San Galgano with a clear vision: nothing conventional. And the day lived up to every expectation.
The guests arrived at the venue to find the couple already there, in the middle of getting ready, surrounded by the scent of the Sienese countryside and the afternoon light.
An aperitivo together, even before the vows — as if the wedding had already begun the moment everyone came together. Intimate, informal, real.
Then the sun went down. And as darkness enveloped the abbey, the nave came alive with candlelight. Hundreds of flames framed the medieval stone, a starlit sky above, the silence of the Sienese countryside all around. Veronica and Alberto said their vows in a setting that seemed to belong to another era — intense, romantic, impossible to forget.
The rest of the evening unfolded the way every great wedding should: dinner, a live band, the cake cutting, and dancing into the night. But with an atmosphere that simply could not be replicated anywhere else.
ContentLove at San Galgano: vertical video and trailer delivered on the same day
For Veronica and Alberto’s wedding, we produced the Vertical Wedding Video package: high-quality vertical videos, social-ready, delivered on the same day as the event. But that was not all — we also produced a ten-minute vertical trailer that tells the story of the entire day as a true short emotional film.
From the sunset aperitivo to the candlelit nave, from stolen glances during the ceremony to the fireworks: every moment was captured and transformed into vertical content ready to be experienced and shared before the celebrations had even ended.
