About us
This Is What an Italian Wedding Feels Like
Cascina Capitanio is the oldest farmhouse in Piedmont. Built in the 1400s, it has stood in the same stretch of countryside for six centuries — and it shows, in the best possible way.
Exposed brick, wooden beams, a courtyard open to the sky, the scent of Italian food being cooked from scratch. This is not a wedding factory. It is a place where families gather, where time slows down, and where the day feels like it could only happen here.
We believe your wedding should feel like you — not like a package. That is why every couple we work with gets a blank canvas: same stunning venue, completely different wedding.

Family
Hi, I am Sabrina.
Our company was founded in 1995, inspired by my marriage to my husband Antonio, a successful executive in a completely different field!
We have always loved the warm hospitality typical of Trentino and have strived to stay curious, constantly seeking new ideas in both the culinary and hospitality sectors.
Over the years, we have adapted and evolved our way of working many times to better meet the needs of our couples.
From 2000 to 2007, we hosted numerous weddings, utilizing all the spaces available to accommodate multiple events on the same day. Then, starting in 2007, we began envisioning a more exclusive approach to provide the very best for our couples and their guests.
We transitioned to hosting only one wedding per day (exclusively), giving couples and their guests the comfort and convenience of staying overnight before and after the event at the “Resort Al Castello,” which we built adjacent to the Cascina.
Today, our guests also have the option to stay at the nearby hotel, enjoying a romantic first night as newlyweds and a relaxing first day of marriage. This can even include a bit of pampering with a wellness package, offering a “slow” day to savor as a newlywed couple. All this is surrounded by peace and tranquility, creating unique and unforgettable moments.
