Yes, it is happening on June 19, 2021 which is a Saturday. See updated schedule as the timing has changed.
Not exactly, but things will change on June 1st and again on Jun 15th. Currently, the EU has publicly stated they want to open to "vaccinated" Americans, an official declaration has not been made, but we are recommending that if you want to come that you get a refundable ticket soon, and if they don't open in time then you can exchange. Waiting until they announce and then expecting to find an airfare may not work out so well.
The answer is no, we are planning to postpone until 2021 and this page now reflects that. The new date is June 19, 2021. Sorry for any inconvenience, all of the events have changed to reflect this postponement.
This is a very sad circumstance, and we are paying close attention to how this pandemic develops internationally. IF we change our plans, the decision will be made early May, and we will work on rescheduling for next year about the same time. Should we choose to do so, we will reach out to everyone ASAP.
Cari amici e parenti italiani, grazie per la pazienza!!! Siamo ben consapevoli che la maggior parte del sito e' in inglese ma gli ospiti stranieri hanno bisogno di qualche indicazione in piu' per venire a festeggiare con noi.
Fly into a major hub in Europe first: London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Paris, Dublin, or even Rome. Then Fly into either: Orio al Serio (BGY), Malpensa (MXP), or Linate (LIN). Orio al Serio is the closest to Bergamo and logistically the easiest.
Go see Italy, anywhere you've ever wanted. While you're there, drink coffee, eat pastries, enjoy streets older than your grandparents, and visit places within a culture that predates anything in America no matter where you look.
If you ever ask this in Italy they DEPORT YOU IMMEDIATELY!! If you try to order Chicken Parmigiana anywhere, you're probably going to get accosted in public by the Pope.
As a rule of thumb, Italians do not have dinner before 7:30 pm in the North and it gets later as you go South. So if a restaurant is open at 5:30 pm, most probably it is a tourist trap!! If you are hungry at 5 pm, have a snack, there are plenty of bakery, patisserie and homemade gelato shops ready to save you from starvation!!
Due to the pandemic, we delayed the wedding a year which we hope will allow many more people to plan and be able to show up. We have canceled the US wedding because we have decided to perform a small civil ceremony at home on the date we intended to get married originally. These decisions were made to simplify things for us and help us move forward at the time we really wanted to.
