‘Si’ I do
Written by admin on 27 July, 2009 – 1:33 pm -
Now you can say Si to your beloved at the Mole Antonelliana in Turin. This weekend the first bride and groom tied the knot there. If you would like to do the same it will cost you €2000 but that includes a trip to the top of this famous landmark (which was initially destined to be a synagogue). Also available for hire is the Palazzo Madamma. For more details visit the City of Turin’s website.

Oh, and by the way, he’s also the grandson of the ex-king of Italy.
