Located at the highest point in Rome, the 17th-century Baroque villa offered stunning views of the city skyline and provided a magical backdrop for their wedding.
The festivities kicked off with a lavish welcome dinner, where both Sam and Lucy wowed their guests by coordinating black ensembles.
The highlight of the evening came when Sam popped open a bottle of champagne and enthusiastically sprayed it over his delighted guests.
In another photo, the couple was seen enjoying an intimate moment on a rooftop terrace overlooking Rome’s iconic landscape.
Lucy dazzled in a figure-hugging black dress, complete with a dramatic train that fell elegantly behind her.
Her hair was put up in a chic updo, allowing the backless dress to be a real showstopper.

Sam proposed to Lucy in June 2023, just nine months after they made their relationship public.
The couple welcomed daughter Robbie into the world in September 2023.
‘[It happened] during the big final week we’re cheering,” Sam revealed on Channel Seven’s Sunrise.
‘IMy sleep is very limited and I’m used to it again, but it’s great!‘ said the proud father.
“She is amazing and beautiful, just like her mother,” he added.
