La Posta Vecchia — wedding venue in Ladispoli, Rome
La Posta Vecchia stands as an intriguing witness to Italian history. Once a seaside resort favoured by Roman emperors, later a Renaissance villa for the noble Orsini family, and finally the home of Jean Paul Getty, the billionaire who filled it with Italian art treasures. It was this extraordinary fusion of history and opulence that Roberto Sciò found irresistible, leading him to transform it into his family home.
