Valentina & Fabio’s Tracksuit Wedding: Photos & Details

Rimini, 27 December 2025 – The most beautiful basket of their life. Valentina Vignali and Fabio Stefanini spoke the fateful ‘yes’ on Christmas Eve. A wedding celebrated at Palazzo Gradari in Pesaro – Stefanini’s hometown – awaiting the great wedding party, which will be held on 21 June 2026 at the castle of Bracciano. As already happened when Fabio asked Valentina to marry him, the two broke up on the wedding day too inspired by basketball. In July Stefanini32 years old (who plays for Faenza Synergies theme) had proposed to Valentina on a basketball court a stone’s throw from the Colosseum. On Wednesday the two metor show up in a tracksuit and basketball shoes at the weddingcelebrated with a civil ceremony at Palazzo Gradari. The only ‘exception’ for her: a long veil, white like the tracksuit she was wearing.

“It was just a signature.”

The images of wedding published by the 34 year old Vignaliformer basketball player, showgirl and influencer with millions of fans, and Stefanini, immediately made the rounds on social media. And the Rimini native was keen to directly explain the decision to present herself with a sporty look: “We chose to go in tracksuit and basketball shoes, the athletes’ uniform, the thing that represents us most, a tribute to basketball”. And again: “It was just a signature: since we don’t get married in churchwe had to go to the town hall by force. But it was very exciting.” And the real party? “The official one with everyone – explains the Rimini native – will take place on 21 June 2026, in the incredible location of the castle of Bracciano”.

Thanks Pesaro

It is always Vignali herself who explains, in these hours, why she and Stefanini chose to get married on Christmas Eve in Pesaro. “We were never able to find a good day, between Fabio’s training and my commitments. In Rome where I live it couldn’t be done on a logistical level. My brother, who works shifts in the hospital and had to be my best man, was never able to free himself.” In short, it wasn’t easy to find the place and the day of the fateful ‘yes’, but “in the end we managed it. It still doesn’t seem true to me. Thank you, Municipality of Pesaro”.

Love born on the field

The first love between Vignali and Stefanini blossomed many years ago. In 2011 they met and got together for the first time, remaining engaged for a couple of years. Then the farewell in 2013. Since then they had not seen each other again until the summer of 2024, when they met again during a basketball tournament in Rimini in which Fabio was participating. Since then they have never left each other and are now married. “Ours is a particular story because we were together as children, from the ages of 18 to around 20. We were children. Life separated us: I moved to Rome to play. From 2013 to 2024 we never saw each other again. Last year I saw him again on a basketball court in Rimini: he was there playing a tournament…” And since then Vignali and Stefanini have never been separated.
