Simone and Fatima got married in one of the most particular villas in the province of Lucca, one of the few that stands on the shores of a lake in Tuscany, the marvelous Villa Orlando in Torre del Lago.
Simone is a young Italian, while Fatima is of Moroccan origin. Despite their cultural differences, the two decided to celebrate their love in a ceremony that combined Italian and Moroccan traditions.
When preparing for the wedding, Fatima followed the Moroccan tradition with the henna ritual, a ceremony that usually takes place the night before the wedding. Henna is a plant that is used to create temporary designs on the bride's hands and feet, a symbol of fertility and prosperity for the couple.
Villa Orlando in Torre del Lago is a historic villa that overlooks Lake Massaciuccoli, dear to Maestro Puccini. A civil ceremony took place on the shores of the lake which sanctioned the union not only of two people, but also of two families with different histories and cultures, in a demonstration of respect and integration of the two realities.
Simone and Fatima have shown that love knows no cultural boundaries, and that differences can be an opportunity to learn and enrich each other. Their wedding was a moment of union between Italian and Moroccan cultures, celebrating the beauty of diversity and integration.
