Giovanni Landrini — Owner & Director, Castello di Petrata
Giovanni Landrini is the owner and director of Castello di Petrata, a historic castle wedding venue near Assisi, in the heart of Umbria, Italy. Since 2010, he has been responsible for the venue's hospitality vision, operations, and the design of the multi-day wedding experience that defines Castello di Petrata's approach to international celebrations.
15 Years of International Wedding Hospitality
Under Giovanni Landrini's direction, Castello di Petrata has grown into one of Umbria's most established destinations for international couples, hosting an average of 70 to 80 weddings per year — the majority for couples traveling from the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada.
His work spans every aspect of the guest experience: from pre-wedding coordination and venue setup to on-site hospitality management across multi-day celebrations that include welcome dinners, ceremonies, receptions, and day-after gatherings.
The result is a castle wedding venue that operates with the consistency and professionalism of a luxury hospitality property, while maintaining the personal warmth of a privately owned Italian estate.

The Multi-Day Wedding Philosophy
Giovanni Landrini's approach to wedding hospitality is built on a single conviction: a memorable wedding is not a single event — it is a shared experience over several days.
This philosophy shapes every element of the Castello di Petrata offering, from the structure of the welcome dinner to the pace of the wedding day and the informality of the day-after brunch. It is an approach developed over 15 years of working with international couples and their planners, and refined through direct participation in the global wedding industry.
