Castello di Fighine — wedding venue in San Casciano dei Bagni, Tuscany
Castello di Fighine was first documented in 1058 in relation to the Pieve of Santa Maria de Fighine. It was formally named in a 1266 edict when Emperor Frederick of Swabia granted it to the Viscount of Campiglia. Over the following centuries the castle passed through various noble families and military commanders, contested and reconquered by competing powers.
In 1446 the Sienese Republic undertook major expansion and reinforcement works on the castle, though these were interrupted in 1451 by papal occupation. Pope Pius II returned the castle to Siena twelve years later. Following Siena's annexation into the Tuscan Grand Duchy, it passed into the hands of Grand Duke Cosimo dei Medici — a lineage of power, beauty and Tuscan history that now forms the backdrop for couples celebrating one of their most important days.
