The morning was spent in an attic bedroom with the bridesmaids in navy pyjamas: a lace robe, a pearl comb in the bride's hair, the mother in blue and green helping with the veil, a lace mantilla for the church.

Her father walked her through the piazza and down the aisle of a baroque church, and the couple married in front of their family. At La Cocumella a silver vintage Mercedes convertible waited on the terrace, and a trained hawk made an appearance.

Portraits followed on the old tennis court, under the citrus pergola and at the white balustrade with Vesuvius across the bay. Dinner was served in the arches of the cloister, ending with the cake and sparklers. Photographed in an editorial and documentary style, in colour and black and white.
