A luxurious and refined fairytale, unfolding among the Italian-style gardens of a historic Ligurian villa and within frescoed walls rich with atmosphere. For Claira and David’s wedding, in the splendid setting of Villa Spagnuola Gavotti in Savona, the live painting became the final, crowning touch to a day defined by grace and elegance.

As the couple wished for an outdoor portrait, beneath the arch where the ceremony would take place, I conceived a balanced and sumptuous composition in which they are framed both by the garden’s profusion of white flowers and by the villa’s façade itself — so that the painting might not merely stand as a memory, but as a true monument to their special day, set within a location of extraordinary elegance.
