Action star Donnie Yen and former beauty queen Cissy Wang celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary at the stunning Villa Balbiano in Lake Como, Italy last week.
One of Hong Kong’s favourite showbiz couples, they renewed their vows in a lavish ceremony attended by family and, of course, celebrity friends. A-list guests included director Wong Jing, actor Ray Lui and Wang Baoqiang, singer William So and more, reported The Straits Times.

Yen, 59, and Wang, 42, have had a long-time romance that’s the envy of many. They got married back in 2003 in Toronto, Canada, and have two children: Jasmine, 19 and James, 15. Yen has an older son, Man-Zeok Yen, from his previous one-year marriage to Zing-Ci Leung.
Yen, a household name, shot to fame for his iconic portrayal of Ip Man in the eponymous film series. He’s now one of the highest paid actors in Asia, boasting an estimated fortune of around US$40 million, as per Celebrity Net Worth.

He has been known to spare no expense when it comes to family happiness, once buying a property worth US$17 million for Wang, as previously reported.

Their opulent anniversary celebration was the result of 10 months of meticulous planning, according to Oriental Daily. Yen’s Weibo posts showcased the couple’s impeccable taste and style, with Yen looking sharp in a pristine white tuxedo and Wang exuding beauty in an open-back wedding gown with a magnificent long train.

The panoramic views of Lake Como and distant mountains provided a breathtaking backdrop to the stunning photos. The couple posed in their matching outfits aboard a luxurious boat and a car, and amid the sprawling Italian garden of the mansion.

The photos also showcased Yen delighting in a pre-birthday celebration, set for July 27, organised by his wife, as per Oriental Daily. This special occasion was marked by the presence of his favourite singer Paul Anka, renowned for his 70s hits like “Lonely Boy” and “My Way”.

Villa Balbiano is one of the largest private residences on Lake Como and if it looks familiar to you, that’s because it probably is. The grand palazzo was the set of the home of family patriarch Aldo Gucci in the film House of Gucci starring Lady Gaga.
Built in the late 16th century by Cardinal Tolomeo Gallio, who used it as his primary residence, the palazzo spans nearly two hectares (five acres) of lush grounds and features an extensive garden, outdoor swimming pool, private pier and boathouse.

Its historic interiors showcase exquisite objets d’art and period furniture, while breathtaking 17th-century frescoes by the legendary Recchi brothers and Agostino Silva grace the walls. Offering six luxurious suites, it comes with a steep price tag, with basic villa rentals starting from US$467,000 (420,000 euros) per week for up to 12 guests, according to booking website My Private Villas.

The villa is just one of the many treasures nestled on the shores of Lake Como, the third-largest lake in Italy set against the picturesque foothills of the Alps. Since Roman times, the region has been frequented by aristocrats drawn to its breathtaking landscape, Renaissance architecture and grand resorts. Luminaries such as Napoleon Bonaparte, Winston Churchill and the British royal family have all been among its esteemed guests.

Today, Lake Como is still a home away from home for the most affluent, counting a lengthy roster of celebrities and public figures like George Clooney, Madonna – and Gianni Versace, when he was still alive. His villa was sold in the 2000s.
The area is also a sought-after location for sumptuous weddings, with stars like American singer John Legend and model Chrissy Teigen, as well as Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, choosing to exchange their vows amid the stunning scenery.
