Italy is guaranteed to be included on any list of top global wedding destinations – and justifiably so. Its geographical beauty and climate, cultural patrimony and unbeatable food and wine are already enough to make it a superb wedding destination, but it also has more ‘amore’, romance and passion than any other country on the planet – Italians have been living and dying for love since the Roman Empire.
