Civil unions in Italy: what to know
In Italy, same-sex civil unions have been recognised by the Cirinnà law since 2016. In this section we gather practical information, curiosities and tips for planning your day, from the paperwork to the party.
For us every couple is a story to tell with the same care: take a look at our wedding reportage in Avellino and, if you are getting married between Avellino and Benevento, the wedding photographer in Irpinia page.
A practical tip: as with any wedding, first set the date with the town hall and book the venue, then think about the photographer and other suppliers. A civil union day has the same moments as a wedding, from the ceremony to the party, and deserves the same storytelling: preparations, emotions, family and friends.
