Seminars and company events
Castello di Torre in Pietra hosts business meetings, conferences, training courses, product presentations, fashion shows, exhibitions and gala dinners, in rooms on several floors and in its gardens and courtyards. The castle stands in Torrimpietra, in the municipality of Fiumicino, on the Via Aurelia in the countryside west of Rome. It lies about 23 km from Rome, 19 km from Fiumicino airport and 40 km from the port of Civitavecchia.
Smaller rooms suit board meetings and workshops, while the larger halls and outdoor areas take exhibitions and parties. The venue supplies audiovisual equipment and arranges further technical needs through partner suppliers, and parking is available. The castle publishes no capacities, so group sizes are set with the team for each event. It also works as a location for film, advertising and photo shoots.
Weddings and receptions
Religious weddings take place in the octagonal church of Sant'Antonio Abate, inside the castle village, designed by Ferdinando Fuga in the first half of the 18th century and decorated with frescoes. Civil ceremonies are possible through an agreement with the Comune di Fiumicino, either in the gardens or in the halls. The castle also hosts family celebrations, christenings, first communions, birthdays and anniversaries.
Rooms and capacities
The ground-floor Sala Peretti overlooks a large courtyard and opens onto the gardens. Upstairs, the frescoed central hall of the piano nobile keeps a 17th-century fireplace with marble inlay, and the neighbouring halls carry 18th-century frescoes. Fuga also designed the Sala del Bosco, a room cut into the rock. A rustic Taverna on the ground floor, the gardens and the courtyards complete the spaces. The castle does not state guest numbers for any of them.
Accommodation
The couple can stay in the castle on request. Wedding guests are housed in selected properties nearby, near the airport or in Rome, and the venue organizes transfers from the airport or central Rome.
Catering
The in-house team coordinates each event from guest arrival to set-up and catering, working with trusted caterers and with a network of outside suppliers for photography, flowers, décor, music and lighting.
History and setting
The fortified village, with walls, towers and a moat, dates from the Middle Ages and is recorded in 1254 among the lands of the Normanni Alberteschi family. It passed to the Anguillara, Massimo and Peretti families, and in the early 17th century Prince Michele Peretti, nephew of Pope Sixtus V, built a large new residence. The Falconieri princes bought the estate in 1639. For them Fuga built the church and the staircase to the piano nobile, and Pier Leone Ghezzi painted the interiors, including scenes of the visit of Pope Benedict XIII in 1725. In 1926 Senator Luigi Albertini bought the neglected property, drained the marshland and turned it into a model dairy farm, restoring the castle with the architects Pier Luigi Nervi and Michele Busiri Vici. Guided tours of the castle and visits to the wine cellar are offered.
Getting there
The castle is at Piazza Torrimpietra 2, 00054 Fiumicino. Fiumicino airport is about 19 km away by road and central Rome about 23 km along the Via Aurelia.
