Celebrating a marriage: banner on a bedsheet strung across the road leaving the Abbazia di Piona (Piona Abbey), in Colico, Lombardy, Italy. An English translation of the Italian message on the banner reads: “Paolo and Muni [or Mony]. Married today 21/06/2008”. Piona Abbey is now a venue for wedding ceremonies: “Matrimonio all’Abbazia di Piona – Colico. Quando l’effervescenza incontra l’eleganza il risultato non può che essere un matrimonio indimenticabile” or “Wedding at Piona Abbey - Colico. When effervescence meets elegance the result can only be an unforgettable wedding.”
