Most Esteemed Friends and Family, Nicholas Kasparian and Gioconda Sirolli invite you to join us in celebration at Palazzo Sirolli, atop the enduring heights of Altino. As dusk falls, the evening will unfold amidst the quiet beauty of candlelit walls and the soft echo of footsteps on ancient stone. In this place, where past and present gently converge, we shall unite our story with a new chapter— that of husband and wife.

The Ceremony shall commence at 5:00 PM. We kindly request thy presence by 4:30 PM to partake in pre-ceremony libations. The final shuttle will depart Lanciano at 4:00 PM.

Abito da cerimonia
(Wedding Attire)
Our wedding draws inspiration from the timeless beauty of precious metals—warm, radiant, and touched by Renaissance grandeur. We invite you to embrace this theme in attire reflecting the shimmering hues and muted tones of silver, rose gold, yellow gold, bronze, copper, champagne, and nude shades. Metallic finishes, sequins, glitter, or hints of chrome add to the luminous effect, while earthy tones like tan, brown, and gray provide a subtle complement.
This is a formal celebration, and we kindly ask that you refrain from black, white, or colors outside the mood board. Your thoughtful attire will help weave a story of elegance, as timeless as the metals themselves.
*Ladies the ground is primarily large and small cobblestone, suggested to wear a low or block heel or bring flats for after the ceremony
Gold, Silver, Platinum, Palladium, Rose Gold, Copper, Brass, Gunmetal, Verdigris, Rust Bronze, Burnished Brass, Weathered Iron, Dark Pewter
