Travel/Spostamenti

Here are a few tips on getting to Alessandria and Oviglio, especially from abroad. On the wedding day, there will be light travel (0h 15) by car between Alessandria, for the Nuptial Mass, and to Oviglio, for the wedding reception. For guests without a car, especially those traveling from abroad, we can provide transportation from the Church to the reception venue. For guests arriving from abroad, it is also possible to rent a car and drive to Alessandria and Oviglio, though this is not required. Car rentals are typically available with manual or automatic transmissions. Italy drives on the right side of the road, like the United States, and American driver's licenses are valid for tourists.

Travel Note

Flying in

Alessandria is at the center of a triangle formed by Turin, Milan, and Genoa. We suggest flying into any one of these cities, which are very well connected to Alessandria via the national railway. Milan Malpensa is probably the easiest airport to arrive in from overseas. A direct transatlantic flight is typically 8h 00 and a two-leg flight is typically 14h 00.

Travel Note

Trains

Alessandria can be reached from Milan (1h 30), Turin (1h 00), and Genoa (1h 00) by train. Timetables can easily be navigated using Google Maps, which supplies train routes, directions, stops, and times. Tickets may be purchased directly at train station kiosks or online at trenitalia. Be advised that train travel is occasionally disrupted by rail worker strikes.
