The Aldobrandini Wedding (Nozze Aldobrandini) fresco is an influential Ancient Roman painting on display in the Vatican Museum. The fresco was discovered about the year 1600 from the masonry of a house near the Arch of Gallienus on the Esquiline Hill.

There are many elaborate competing interpretations of the scene
