Chiara and Alberto are a young couple from Milan, with a strong bond to Elba Island, one of the jewels of the Tuscan Archipelago, where they own a charming historic residence known as Villa Damiani. For their civil ceremony, Chiara and Alberto chose the 16th-century cloister of the ancient De Laugier Barracks, which can be reached via the pink stone staircase of Salita Napoleone, leading up to upper Portoferraio. From this location, one can enjoy a splendid view of the ancient Medici city, once known as Cosmopolis, thanks to a large square that provides access to the barracks’ cloister.
