The History
Villa Schiarino Lena isn’t just another pretty Italian villa—it’s got serious history. Built back in the late 1500s for the Gonzaga family (Mantua’s OG power players), it was designed as their countryside escape. Think frescoed rooms, grand halls, and gardens that stretch out for days. Over the years, it’s passed through noble hands, but the soul of the place has stayed the same: elegant, a little dramatic, and made for celebration.
Fast forward to now, and those same frescoed walls and 13 hectares of green space have become the backdrop for weddings that feel both historic and personal—like stepping into a story that’s been waiting for you to write the next chapter.
Villa Schiarino Lena is Lombardy at its most romantic—lush gardens, historic elegance, and a team that makes every detail seamless.
For couples seeking a wedding that’s truly yours, this timeless estate delivers an experience as unforgettable as the setting itself.
