The pavilions are divided briefly into three single volumes, in a scale that is not too massive compared to the existings, consist of small modular units connected to one another, which can be added or reduced depending on the number of the guests in order to keep the warm and friendly atmosphere for everyone. No matter how dysfunctional and incomplete they were before, from this day forward they will be an extension of one another.

The wedding and ceremony pavilions are located within the border of the lawn ,so the rest of the space between the buildings is mostly left unoccupied. Therefore, the enchantment of rolling hills can still be perceived without ny obstacles and the airy sense of space remains, which is the identifying characteristic of both castles and hill towns in the region of Umbria.
