Italian wedding Almonds The number of sugared almonds should be odd. Most couples go for 5, which represents five important aspects. These are; health, wealth, happiness, fertility, and long life- in no particular order.
CLICK ON PHOTO ABOVE "La Tarantella" (or "the tarantula") is the most frenzied way guests wish the newly married couple good luck. Dancers hold hands and race clockwise until the music speeds up, and then they reverse directions. The tempo and direction continue to change until the group succumbs to the speeding music
Italian Wedding Traditions
The Flowers? In Italy it is the usual custom for the groom to buy the flowers for the wedding day. However, although the groom pays for the flowers the bride and her bride’s maids still choose the type of flowers and the overall color scheme for the big day. In the northern provinces of Italy it’s also traditional for the groom to hand a bouquet of flowers to the bride as she arrives at the church on the wedding day.
Antonio’s recommended Tuscan tour Our friend Antonio put together a few towns for our guests to consider as they visit the Tuscany area. The towns circled are some local highlights not often appreciated by a Google search tour of Tuscany. Siena to San Gimignano: 45 Minutes Siena to Arezzo: 60-75 Minutes Siena to Montepulciano: 57 Minutes Siena to Bagno Vignoni: 52 Minutes
Available at the Villa
Our Guests will have many windows of time to visit the surrounding towns and countryside. If you arrive early before check in or early Saturday before the wedding events or Sunday at your leisure. We have provided Antonio’s Tuscan Tour within a short distance of the Villa for those who might wish to explore on their own. We also have included a number of “Google based” tours and “tourist” activiites for those who wish to take advantage of more structured tours etc.
Highlights of Antonio’s recommended tour: Double click on the map above and it will download a PDF version of the local opportunities with Siena as a starting point that you can print and research before you leave home.
