As anticipated the civil ceremony can’t be celebrated everywhere but just in some venues selected every year from the Town Hall. Depending on the area of Italy we can find different kind of venues that can meet every need, for example, in Venice, the civil ceremony can take place in a beautiful palace with a panoramic view of the Grand Canal and the Rialto bridge, in Sicily we can find some venues located on the beach; the Amalfi Coast offers the possibility to have the civil wedding in a beautiful garden overlooking the Gulf of Naples. The list goes on with historical palaces at heritage cities, villas in the areas of the lakes and so much more, but let’s focus on a specific area of Italy…Tuscany!
