Visiting the world’s smallest public Historic theater in Tuscany

Up until now  I didn’t know that a couple can say “I dos” on the stage of this tiny theater in Tuscany. So I went down to Lucca to visit this very special place last December. Loredana, the lovely Curator of the Teatrino was waiting for me at the piazzale Verdi in the center of Lucca and together we went to see this interesting new location. Loredana also explained that the Teatrino di Vetriano was acquired and brought to live by the FAI ( Fondo Ambiente Italiano) in 1997 and now hosts artistic and cultural events.  The whole  story is quite an  amazing one and I will write another blog post about it soon!

This destination wedding location is only 71 square meters, but has everything a regular theater must have! It was built in 1890 by local villagers who decided to transform what used to be a barn in a gathering place for the community. This tiny theater was added to the Guinness World Records list in 1997 as the smallest public Historic theater in the world. You can hold your wedding Ceremony here and choose a nice Villa for your wedding reception in the area or have your wedding reception celebration on the Versilia coast. I will be happy to help you find the most suitable location for your wedding. My guess is that you've just found the most "theatrical" location for your wedding ceremony in the whole of Italy. You can have your wedding Ceremony here and choose a nice Villa for your wedding reception in the area or have your wedding reception celebration on the Versilia coast. I will be happy to help you find the most suitable location for your wedding.
Well, where can you find it?  Direzione Vetriano! The village of Vetraiano is  located in the municipality of Pescaglia, and it is a  handful of stone houses,  surrounded by narrow streets and ancient olive trees, cradled by  the silence of the Tuscan hills, “covered” in chestnut trees, vineyards and fragrances of the woods, so typical to this part of Tuscany. Once in Vetriano, down a very narrow  alleyway ..a shot walk  and step inside the Guinness World Records smallest public Historic theatre in the world!

You will  find this Teatrino  about 20 km from Lucca, it took me 20 min. to get their by car. It’s been  open  to public as a wedding location since 2012.

Have a FANTASTIC 2014! My best wishes from San Gimignano to all!
