OUR STORY

We met at a friend's birthday dinner in a tiny courtyard in Milan. Julian was seated next to Clara by accident — by dessert, the rest of the table had given up trying to join the conversation.

Our first trip together was a slow drive along the Ligurian coast. One flat tyre, too much focaccia and a sunset in Camogli later, we knew we made a very good team.

On Christmas Eve Julian took Clara back to the courtyard where it all began. Between candles and old photographs he asked the question — she said yes before he had finished.
THE CELEBRATION

Welcome to Villa Alberi. Chilled limoncello spritz and lemonade will be served on the lower terrace as you arrive.
Join us in the lemon garden as we exchange our vows and begin our next chapter together.


Drinks, small bites and a string trio on the lake terrace while we take a few photographs with our families.
A long-table dinner under the plane trees, followed by speeches and a few embarrassing stories.


Meet us on the dance floor for music, celebration and a night we hope none of us will forget.
The celebration comes to a close with sparklers on the jetty. Boats and shuttles will take everyone back to Bellagio.


GUEST INFORMATION
ACCOMMODATION
A block of rooms is reserved at Albergo del Lago in Bellagio, a ten-minute boat ride from the villa. Use the code CLARAJULIAN when booking to receive our wedding rate. Please book before July 15, 2026 — availability can't be guaranteed after that.


DRESS CODE
Garden formal. Suits, linen tailoring, midi and full-length dresses are all welcome. The ceremony takes place on gravel and grass, so block heels or comfortable formal shoes are a good idea — and bring a light layer for the evening breeze off the lake.


FOOD AND DRINKS
A four-course Lombard dinner, a wedding cake and a selection of local wines and soft drinks will be served throughout the evening. Vegetarian, vegan and allergy-friendly menus are available — just tell us in your RSVP.


TRANSPORTATION
Private boats will run from the Bellagio pier to Villa Alberi from 2:45 PM. Return boats and shuttles start at 10:30 PM, with the last departure shortly after midnight. The nearest airport is Milan Malpensa, about 90 minutes away.

We love your little ones, but we've chosen to keep the day adults-only. We hope you can enjoy an evening off with us.
Your invitation lists everyone included. If you have a question about a guest, just send us a message.
The ceremony, aperitivo and dinner are outdoors. If the weather turns, everything moves into the villa's limonaia.
