Bridal preparations at La Foce
wedding ceremony
La Foce, in Val d’Orcia, is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most breathtaking venues I have ever photographed. Originally transformed into a thriving farming estate in 1924 by Antonio and Iris Origo, it carries a rich history that still resonates today. Iris Origo, an acclaimed Anglo-American biographer and historian, captured the essence of this estate in her books Images and Shadows and War in Val d’Orcia.
For those considering a wedding at La Foce, this historic estate offers an unparalleled blend of beauty, heritage, and romance. You can find more La Foce photos and information in this article.
