Wedding Band in Todi

Todi, a medieval square above the valley

The dome of Santa Maria della Consolazione stands outside the walls. Uphill, civic palaces and the cathedral steps frame Piazza del Popolo. Todi suits a wedding that feels at home in a small town, with views out over the countryside to carry the weekend past the celebration itself.

Palomba alla ghiotta, a traditional pigeon dish, belongs to Todi’s winter cooking. The local Grechetto is another reason to spend some time at the table or visit a winery.

On a spring day, guests can pause at the Oberdan Gardens and look out across the valley. When it is hot outside, the Roman cisterns beneath the centre show a side of Todi you cannot see from the square.
