Castello Macchiaroli in Teggiano, in the province of Salerno, hosts conferences, exhibitions, company receptions and weddings. Ten historic rooms seat up to 370 people, the grounds take up to 400 guests, and the open-air space holds up to 500 for concerts and performances. The castle stands on Piazza Portello, in the old town of Teggiano in southern Italy.
Seminars and company events
The castle is set up for conferences, talks and exhibitions. The owners state that the rooms are air-conditioned and that the castle can provide a sound system, a video projector and a projection screen. A parking attendant is available on request. For an organiser, this means a plenary session, a product presentation or a trade exhibition can run without bringing in basic equipment, although a technical brief is worth sending early for larger programs.
The castle has hosted exhibitions for years, including a Leopardi show that drew more than 100,000 visitors and an antiques fair that ran for two decades. This track record shows the rooms and circulation handle public footfall as well as private groups.
Weddings and receptions
The castle is sold as a venue for wedding receptions and other private celebrations. The official site describes an atmosphere of another era, with towers, wartime walkways and dungeons as the backdrop. The grounds can host up to 400 guests outdoors, which suits a large reception with a ceremony or aperitif outside and dinner or dancing in the historic rooms. The site also mentions Christmas and Halloween events and private celebrations such as confirmations.

History and setting
The castle dates from the Norman period and belonged to the Sanseverino princes. It was the setting for the fiscal revolt of 1497, and the siege that followed is re-enacted each year in a historical pageant called Alla tavola della Principessa Costanza, which draws tens of thousands of spectators. After a major restoration, the building now serves as a venue for receptions, cultural programs, conferences and large events. Its towers, defensive walkways and dungeons remain part of the visit. Concerts here have featured performers such as Fiorella Mannoia and Luca De Filippo, and the castle hosted the Teggiano Jazz Festival for twenty years.
Getting there
