Borghi dell'Eremo — wedding venue in Piegaro, Umbria
The settlements that comprise Borghi dell'Eremo have their origins in the 13th century, when small agricultural communities established themselves across this stretch of Umbrian countryside near Piegaro. The three villages of San Giovanni, La Crocicchia, and the third hamlet each developed around the agricultural rhythms of the surrounding land, their stone buildings growing organically over successive centuries.
Like many rural Italian communities, the three villages experienced gradual depopulation during the 20th century as residents migrated to larger towns and cities. The stone buildings, once alive with the daily activities of farming families, fell silent and began to deteriorate. The vision to restore these hamlets honoured their architectural heritage while reimagining them for contemporary use, preserving the original stonework, proportions, and village layouts that define their character.
