It was born by chance with Mauro Adami, founder of the historic atelier Domo Adami and esteemed colleague, the idea to present weekly the Italian excellences related to the world of the bride and groom through a Wedding Tour that with different itineraries traveled through our wonderful Italy: locations, banqueting, partners and all the goodies to know to organize a wedding event.

For our first appointment we chose to depart from Milan and arrive at the doors of Venice: passing by the historic villas of Bergamo, among the vineyards of Franciacorta, the Garda district, the castles of Verona until the Palladian villas of the Brenta.

The film projects in the vertical passion carousel, strong colors that hypnotize senses, losing the sense of orientation.

The dreaming atmospheres of Lario; a perfect stage upon which to live unforgettable moments.

Internet, TV, books and magazines flood future brides of advices and suggestions, making the to-do-list of the perfect wedding. The royal marriages brought back to the fore tradition and etiquette. But if many know what to do, little know the reason why: in this article, we want to make a little journey thorough the past.

19 December 2019

If we ranked the new trends in Italian weddings, we would surely find near the top vintage shabby-chic fittings: a decline of the dressed chair in favour of Chiavari and Kartel, and roundtables dispossessed by the imperial tables.
