WEDDING IN ROME

A Union of Noble Heritage and Contemporary Elegance

This Rome wedding unfolded as a refined encounter between aristocratic European heritage and the vibrant spirit of contemporary Brazil.

Don Ranieri Paternò, noble of the Dukes of San Nicola, married Brazilian fashion designer Sabine Arias in the monumental setting of Santa Maria in Portico in Campitelli, just steps from the heart of ancient Rome.

The ceremony reflected centuries of tradition interpreted through a modern, fashion forward lens, where lineage, creativity, and cultural dialogue shaped a celebration rooted in history yet alive with present-day energy.

Arriving at the Dolce and Gabbana atelier as a designer, the BRIDE was invited to sketch the gown she had always dreamed of, before Domenico DOLCE and Stefano GABBANA enriched it with their vision, elevating it into something truly extraordinary and deeply PERSONAL.

As night fell, Villa Aldobrandini in Frascati welcomed over six hundred guests into an elevated world of light, music, and design. Nobility, royalty, and icons of fashion gathered beneath luminous installations, surrounded by refined florals and architectural grandeur.

Villa Aldobrandini became the stage for an unforgettable celebration: a living portrait of sophistication, emotion, and cinematic beauty, where every gesture felt intentional and every moment resonated with timeless allure.

As daylight faded into Roman dusk, the celebration expanded into a grand expression of elegance, where history, artistry, and human connection merged seamlessly.

The ceremony revealed a powerful sense of ritual and presence, framed by sacred architecture and a deeply emotional atmosphere. The bride arrived wearing a breathtaking Dolce & Gabbana creation, flown directly from Milan with an entire team of artisans who ensured every detail was immaculate. The moment carried the weight of tradition while embracing a bold, contemporary aesthetic.

An Italian aristocrat drawn to RIO de Janeiro, and a Brazilian deeply in love with ROME: this is how the story of fashion designer Sabine Arias and finance professional Ranieri Paternò began.
