La parola ad Arianna.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Prendete due ragazzi che nel sangue hanno l’amore per i viaggi e nel cuore quello che provano l’uno per l’altra. Aggiungete che, come tanti giovani al giorno d’oggi, non sono di certo ricchi e non hanno voglia di spendere tutti i loro risparmi in una giornata, per quanto importante sia. Metteteci un pizzico di fantasia, originalità e briciole di sogni, ed ecco che otterrete un ottimo risultato: un matrimonio a New York all’insegna della filosofia “Non bisogna essere ricchi per essere dei signori”!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Io, in quanto amica “in loco” della sposa, l’ho aiutata nell’organizzazione, improvvisandomi wedding planner d’emergenza e divertendomi non poco!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;La parte più intensa (e fisicamente distruttiva) è stata la ricerca dell’abito della sposa. Esclusa l’opzione dell’abito tradizionale, è iniziata la caccia al tesoro fra un negozio di vestiti e l’altro, partendo da &lt;a href="http://www.macys.com/campaign/social?campaign_id=200&amp;amp;channel_id=1"&gt;Macy’s&lt;/a&gt; (nel famigerato Black Friday), passando fra le varie sedi di H&amp;amp;M, Forever 21, Strawberries &amp;amp; company, per arrivare anche all’insospettabile &lt;a href="http://www.ae.com/web/index.jsp"&gt;American Eagle&lt;/a&gt; – dove la sposa ha “rischiato” di trovare quello giusto – concludendo il tutto con un ritorno al punto di partenza. E’ stato in una deserta domenica mattina, infatti, che da Macy’s il vestito perfetto è apparso… un misto fra tradizione e stile giovane e frizzante, con in più il pregio di essere particolarmente economico: 40$ per un abito nuziale, ci credereste mai?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Cruciale è stata la scelta del ristorante: da bravi italiani, era importante che il cibo fosse più gustoso possibile, ma, in quanto stranieri che si sposano in una città mozzafiato, l’altro elemento fondamentale era che il posto godesse di una visuale suggestiva. Dopo qualche prova e vari ragionamenti, si è optato per il “&lt;a href="http://www.theviewny.com/#"&gt;The View&lt;/a&gt;”, locale molto elegante situato in cima ad un grattacielo, famoso perché ruota di 360° gradi, offrendo una vista di Manhattan by night che lascerebbe a bocca aperta chiunque! Il suggerimento è però quello di usare la bocca per assaporare gli ottimi piatti proposti… una meraviglia per gli occhi e soprattutto per il palato, lo chef ha saputo stupirci con effetti speciali! &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Ma fra il vestito ed il ristorante, un altro piccolo grande sogno è divenuto realtà: gli sposi, all’insaputa dei propri genitori, hanno noleggiato una limousine (con tanto di champagne per brindare), che per tre ore ha percorso le strade di Manhattan in lungo e in largo, sostando nei suoi luoghi più belli per permettere ai passeggeri di scendere e scattare tutte le foto che desideravano.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;Se siete curiosi di sapere tutti i dettagli, potete trovarli qui: &lt;a href="http://ariel-newyorkcity-theadventure.blogspot.com/2010/12/matrimonio-new-york-post-per-i-curiosi.html"&gt;http://ariel-newyorkcity-theadventure.blogspot.com/2010/12/matrimonio-new-york-post-per-i-curiosi.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ariel-newyorkcity-theadventure.blogspot.com/2010/12/matrimonio-new-york-post-per-i-curiosi.html"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;E’ stata una di quelle giornate impossibili da dimenticare: un matrimonio così è solo per chi ha il coraggio di volare alto sulle ali della fantasia e di trasformarla in realtà!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;ENG] &lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Arianna&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title="Click for alternate translations"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;who is&amp;nbsp;&lt;span title="Click for alternate translations"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="hps"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;in&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span title="Click for alternate translations"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="hps"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;New York&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span title="Click for alternate translations"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="hps"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;for&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span title="Click for alternate translations"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="hps"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;an&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span title="Click for alternate translations"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="hps"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;internship in psychology&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title="Click for alternate translations"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span title="Click for alternate translations"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="hps"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;

most&amp;nbsp; young people nowadays, no money and who don’t want to spend all their savings on one day, no matter how important it is. Use a hint of fantasy, creativity and a crumb of dreams, and you’ll have an excellent result: a wedding in &lt;st1:state w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;New   York&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt;, following the “You don’t need to be rich in order to be a lord” philosophy. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;I helped the bride organize the day, since I was her “in loco” friend, acting as an emergency wedding planner and having a lot of fun!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The most intense (and physically destructive) part was the search of the bridal dress. After excluding the traditional wedding gown, the treasure hunt began starting from &lt;a href="http://www.macys.com/campaign/social?campaign_id=200&amp;amp;channel_id=1"&gt;Macy’s&lt;/a&gt; (on the notorious Black Friday), and hitting the various other stores like H&amp;amp;M, Forever 21, Strawberries and company, and checking out the unsuspected &lt;a href="http://www.ae.com/web/index.jsp"&gt;American Eagle&lt;/a&gt; – where the bride actually “risked” to find the right one – to end up at the starting point. It was on an empty Sunday morning at Macy’s, in fact, that the perfect dress appeared… a mix between tradition and young and sparkling style, and it was amazingly cheap: $40 for a wedding dress, can you believe it?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The choice for the restaurant was crucial: being Italians, it was important that the food was as tasty as possible, but being also foreigners getting married in an amazing city, the other important prerogative was to have an evocative view from the place. After some trials and reasoning, we chose &lt;a href="http://www.theviewny.com/#"&gt;“The View”&lt;/a&gt;, a stylish restaurant located on the top of a skyscraper, famous because it rotates on itself, offering a &lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Manhattan-by-night&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; view which would leave anyone with their jaw-dropped. The suggestion is, though, to use your mouth to taste the excellent dishes they serve… they were wonderful both for the view and the food, and the chef surprised us with special effects!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Between the dress and the restaurant, another dream came true: the newlyweds, without telling to their parents, rented a limousine (including champagne for toasts), which went around &lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Manhattan&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; for three hours, stopping at its most beautiful spots so that passengers could take all the pictures they wanted.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;If&amp;nbsp;

Questo matrimonio non assomiglia a nessuno di quelli a cui abbiamo partecipato, né organizzato! Credevamo, sinceramente, che sarebbe stata una lunga maratona a tavola. Gli sposi ci avevano avvisato che si trattava di una cosa molto particolare, ma non ci abbiamo creduto finché non ci siamo ritrovate travolte dal calore degli ospiti. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt;"&gt;L’ingresso scenografico preparato con gli sposi nella sala del pranzo doveva darci qualche indizio, ma noi non lo abbiamo colto! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt;"&gt;Sul grande schermo a nostra disposizione, abbiamo proiettato un video che ha raccontato la loro storia, dall’infanzia al giorno prima del matrimonio. L’idea originale è stata in chiusura di video: gli sposi sono apparsi con gli stessi vestiti della “foto da fidanzati” e si sono rivolti direttamente agli ospiti in sala. Hanno camminato verso lo schermo e poi sono apparsi da dietro lo schermo che nel frattempo veniva sollevato sulle note di “&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;Sweet child of mine&lt;/b&gt;” dei Guns&amp;amp;Roses… &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt;"&gt;Il pranzo è vero, è stato lungo, ma ogni pausa tra una portata e l’altra era una scusa per potersi alzare, ballare, fare le congratulazioni agli sposi, fare discorsi, scherzi e ridere, ridere tanto! Tutto molto coinvolgente e dinamico, per nulla noioso! Complice la &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;band arrivata da Matera “Saverio Pepe e i timidi”&lt;/b&gt;! Eccezionali, simpatici, scatenati, scenici… sono piaciuti a tutti, hanno fatto ballare tutti, compresa la simpaticissima zia sul cubo. Insomma un vero divertimento per tutti. Che dire, un successone!!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt;"&gt;L’allestimento è stato un &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;omaggio alle farfalle&lt;/b&gt;: prati verdi rigogliosi di fiori colorati e farfalle sono stati utilizzati come centritavola e per ricoprire il tavolo del tableau de mariage. Non ci credete? Anche i segnaposti erano delle scatoline a forma di farfalla, contenenti gli zuccherini bolognesi!! Un po’ di cultura bolognese dovevamo lasciarla ai materani, giusto?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt;"&gt;Per concludere, il videomaker Giuseppe, ha montato nel suo sito un breve video di questo bellissimo matrimonio: il viaggio in pullman da Matera, i preparativi, la messa e i festeggiamenti fino al taglio della torta, compresa la zia sul cubo, per chi se la fosse persa!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt;"&gt;Ecco il video di Giuseppe: &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.giuseppescandiffio.com/video/FLV/wedding/federica_roberto.html"&gt;http://www.giuseppescandiffio.com/video/FLV/wedding/federica_roberto.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;Bellissimo, no?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;[&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;ENG&lt;/b&gt;] &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;On June 13&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;, Robert &amp;amp; Federica said their “I do’s!”.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;As promised, the story of Robert and Federica’s wedding ceremony last June 13&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;For we:plan it will forever be remembered as the first official traditional ceremony of the South! This wedding was unlike any other we’ve organized. &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;The reception was typical of the “long” lunches as seen in &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Southern Italy&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. It was truly a marathon of food (even the couple had warned me that it was something that would be very special, but you have to see it in order to believe it!). Every pause between courses was an excuse to get up from the table, dance, congratulate the couple and make a speech or two. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;

Arredi eleganti e inusuali hanno colpito gli invitati: le tovaglie di seta e i piatti di ceramica - realizzati appositamente da artigiani pugliesi – nelle splendide tonalità del glicine hanno arricchito le tavole del Salone delle Feste. All’antica cornice offerta dai saloni affrescati, si accostavano perfettamente gli arredi moderni, divanetti e cubi dalle linee più rigorose. I vasi luminosi colmi di fiori come la viola ciocca e di foglie di monstera contribuivano a conferire stupore all’atmosfera creata.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"&gt;Gustose le pietanze che hanno accostato sapori più tradizionali a quelli esotici; favolosi i dolcetti proposti nelle nuance del matrimonio; dissetanti le acque di frutta e basilico e &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;le miscele di the.

Tutto questo è successo all’incirca 1 anno fa e, nonostante l’idea mi stuzzicasse alquanto, non ero certa che anche James, il mio futuro marito, l’avrebbe trovata altrettanto interessante.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Normaltext"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Dopo 11 mesi, invece, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;eccoci insieme alla gioielleria pronti per scegliere le nostre fedi!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Normaltext"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Il negozio-laboratorio si trova all’interno del famoso centro commerciale &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.strandarcade.com.au/"&gt;The Strand Arcade&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;, uno dei luoghi culto per lo shopping a Sydney. The Strand è stato costruito nel 1891 e il suo nome altro non è che un omaggio alla famosa Burlington Arcade a Londra.&amp;nbsp;È un bellissimo esempio di architettura vittoriana con un tetto in vetro assolutamente incredibile.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Normaltext"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Tornando però alla nostra gioielleria, è un posto veramente molto particolare e sfizioso. Ora vi spiego: il negozio è praticamente diviso a metà. Da un lato sono disposti tutta una serie di armadietti per custodire i preziosi. Di fronte sono stati sistemati dei comodi divani in pelle. Sull’altro lato del negozio, invece, trovano posto 4 bei tavoli da lavoro, dove c’erano al lavoro 3 persone. Arrivato il nostro turno,&amp;nbsp; abbiamo dato un’occhiata ad alcune tipologie di fedi nuziali e alla fine &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;abbiamo optato per una semplicissima fede in oro bianco. La mia fede, invece, ho voluto arricchirla con alcuni diamanti… così che non sfiguri quando lo posizionerò a fianco del mio luminosissimo anello di fidanzamento!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Normaltext"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Dopo aver fatto la nostra scelta, ci hanno spiegato quanto la ragazza canadese mi aveva anticipato ormai più di un anno prima: su questi tavoli di lavoro le coppie di futuri sposi modellano e realizzano le loro fedi nuziali! E proprio le 3 persone che avevamo notato poco prima al nostro ingresso erano una coppia di futuri sposi intenta a realizzare la propria fede, sotto l’attenta supervisione di un orafo. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Normaltext"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Conquistati ed emozionati, abbiamo immediatamente fissato un appuntamento per poter&amp;nbsp; essere anche noi &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.larsenweddingrings.com.au/wedding-ring-experience"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;“gioiellieri per un giorno”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Normaltext"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Normaltext"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;All’incirca un mese dopo – esattamente lo scorso 2 maggio – io e James eravamo pronti per forgiare con le nostre mani le fedi che presto indosseremo (la data del matrimonio è fissata per il prossimo 24 luglio!). &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Normaltext"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;L’intero processo ci ha preso all’incirca 4 ore e mezza.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Normaltext"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt; Una gentilissima ragazza ci ha sapientemente affiancato occupandosi dei complicati calcoli relativi alla curvatura del metallo per forma e vestibilità! Noi, invece, ci siamo occupati del lavoro duro! &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Normaltext"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Il materiale di partenza erano una barra d’oro bianco e sei diamanti. Per prima cosa abbiamo dovuto appiattire la barra d’oro. Dopo di che, con l’aiuto di un macchinario specifico, abbiamo piegato l’oro per conferirgli la forma dell’anello. Arrivati a questo punto, abbiamo cominciato a lucidare il metallo fino a che non abbiamo ottenuto due scintillanti fedi nuziali. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Normaltext"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Naturalmente abbiamo lasciato l’incastonatura dei miei 6 diamanti a mani decisamente più esperte delle nostre!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Normaltext"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Quella sera abbiamo celebrato l’evento stappando una bottiglia di Champagne!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt; E sapete qual è la morale di questa storia? Che quando il giorno del matrimonio James indosserà la fede nuziale, sono certa che ripenserà a questa incredibile esperienza e al fatto che l’anello che gli metterò al dito gliel’ho forgiato io con le mie mani!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Normaltext"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;[ENG]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Normaltext"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;The story of our bride-to-be&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.elenajames2010.com/Site/Welcome.html"&gt;Elena&lt;/a&gt;, jeweller for a day!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="Normaltext"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Wedding rings, I’ve never really given them much thought. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Normaltext"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;I had always seen my mother and my father wear theirs, a simple gold band with the names of my parents and date of their wedding inscribed on the inside. When James asked me to marry him on top of a mountain whilst helisking in New Zealand almost 20 months ago, the last thing that I was going to think about was the wedding rings.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Normaltext"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Living in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Australia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt; and getting married in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Italy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;, bridal shows had only been a source of inspiration and whilst walking around the stalls I met a lovely Canadian lady. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Normaltext"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;She was a jeweller and she gave me her calling card after having explained that her company &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;allowed customers to “make” their wedding rings.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt; This was a year ago and although I loved the idea I was not too sure James, my future husband, was going to be keen on the idea.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Normaltext"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Eleven months later I made an appointment at the store and with James and we went to the jewellers. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Normaltext"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Their shop was more of a fancy workshop located at &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://draft.blogger.com/goog_405789470"&gt;T&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://draft.blogger.com/goog_405789470"&gt;he &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.strandarcade.com.au/"&gt;Strand&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;in the central business district in Sydney&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;. The Strand was built in 1891 and it’s inspiration came from London’s successful Burlington Arcade. The arcade is lovely with a feeling of the past and has a wonderful glass roof. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Normaltext"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;The Shop was divided into two, in one corner there were display cabinets with large leather sofas, and on the other side of the shop there were four work benches. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Normaltext"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;James and I had a look at a couple of wedding rings and chose 5mm polished white gold bands, with a bit of bling for mine, this to complement my wonderful engagement ring. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Normaltext"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;We had noticed that their were three people at the work bench when we had walked into the shop, and once we had chosen our rings we were told that those working in the store were a couple with a jeweller showing them what to do. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Normaltext"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;So we went for it and booked an appointment to be &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.larsenweddingrings.com.au/wedding-ring-experience"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;"jewellers for the day"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Normaltext"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;A month later on the 2nd May, James and I made our way to the shop.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Normaltext"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;The whole process took four and a half hours&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Normaltext"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt; and we had a lovely lady who did all the hard calculations for us… We started with a bar of gold and six diamonds. The first thing we did was to flatten out the square bar of white gold. Then using a fancy machine we bent the gold into a ring shape and soldered it!! Then we started to polish and we polished and we polished it until we had a wonderful shiny ring that fit our fingers. Needless to say, we are leaving the insertion of the little diamonds to the professionals. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Normaltext"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;We celebrated the end of the event with a bottle of champagne and on our wedding day when I give James his wedding band he will know I made it for him.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Normaltext"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wFosw_zHncg/S_z6kJuZL5I/AAAAAAAAAeg/zHypqcUevNA/s1600/mosaico+wedding+ring.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="580" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wFosw_zHncg/S_z6kJuZL5I/AAAAAAAAAeg/zHypqcUevNA/s640/mosaico+wedding+ring.jpg" width="580" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Normaltext"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Credits: Elena Cavazzoni&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4608101214716276193-847217100705973513?l=weplanwedding.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://weplanwedding.blogspot.com/feeds/847217100705973513/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://weplanwedding.blogspot.com/2010/05/orafi-per-un-giorno-jewellers-for-one.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4608101214716276193/posts/default/847217100705973513'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4608101214716276193/posts/default/847217100705973513'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://weplanwedding.blogspot.com/2010/05/orafi-per-un-giorno-jewellers-for-one.html' title='Orafi per un giorno | Jewellers for one day'/><author><name>we:plan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02433678324392347130</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wFosw_zHncg/S4ku1_VZBvI/AAAAAAAAAQ8/_L2fzl2GsVs/S220/MEZZASPOSA_300dpi_www.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wFosw_zHncg/S_z6kJuZL5I/AAAAAAAAAeg/zHypqcUevNA/s72-c/mosaico+wedding+ring.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4608101214716276193.post-5684104459973086608</id><published>2010-05-21T16:10:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2010-05-21T16:17:31.918+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='New York City'/><title type='text'>I ♥ NYC</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wFosw_zHncg/S_aQLM2a-8I/AAAAAAAAAeQ/LDAq8uDQeu4/s1600/mosaico.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="600" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wFosw_zHncg/S_aQLM2a-8I/AAAAAAAAAeQ/LDAq8uDQeu4/s800/mosaico.jpg" width="600" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:x-small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:10px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:x-small;"&gt;1.Tulips in Madison Square Park 2.

Qui da noi si preferiscono le monoporzioni di pan di spagna, con farcitura di crema chantilly e gocce di cioccolato o frutta in gelatina, decorate e rifinite in glassa di zucchero. Una soluzione che accontenta l’occhio e il palato!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Questa passione per le cupcakes, così colorate e divertenti nelle infinite decorazioni, mi ha sempre incuriosito e così, una volta arrivata a New York ho cercato di approfondire l’argomento. Come? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Sottoponendomi all’ingrato compito – soprattutto per i miei fianchi – di assaggiarne il più possibile!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt; E così è stato!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Ho fatto una selezione delle pasticcerie, scegliendo quelle più popolari tra i consigli di amici che vivono in città, dai commenti sulle guide e su siti dedicati oppure visitando quelle apparse in trasmissioni televisive! &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Ecco i risultati con le mie personalissime valutazioni!

Gustosa la crema, anche se effettivamente un po’ troppo burrosa per noi fan della cucina mediterranea. La pasta della cake era morbida e soffice.&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;La pasticceria si trova all’interno del &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Chelsea Market&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt; – il mercato coperto dove è possibile trovare ogni tipo di leccornia ma solo di qualità - situato a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Chelsea&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;, un luogo “architettonicamente” affascinante, nonché ricco di diversità culturali ed etniche. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Lo store di Eleni’s è moderno ed essenziale, molto curato da un punto di vista estetico.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Ampia la scelta di cupcakes, disponibili in vari gusti, decorazioni e colori! Disponibili anche in versione mignon, per chi si vuole concedere solo piccoli peccati di gola! Adorabili i pirottini, personalizzati con il logo della pasticceria! &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.magnoliabakery.com/#"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;MAGNOLIA BAKERY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Da Magnolia ho scelto la &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;vanilla chocolate cupcake &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;appena sfornata e decorata. La pasta della cake era davvero gustosa, ma a rendere speciale questa cupcake era la crema di burro al cioccolato, una vera delizia: morbida, saporita e leggera. Una mousse più che una crema!&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Lo storico store, immortalato anche in un episodio di &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Sex &amp;amp; the City&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt; si trova nel &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Greenwich&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Village&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;, quartiere che un tempo era il centro della vita bohemien, luogo di residenza di numerosi artisti e crogiolo di diversi movimenti politici. Ancora oggi si respira un’aria di libertà creativa e intellettuale che lo rendono un quartiere unico nel suo genere, anche grazie a una architettura fatta di edifici in mattoni di inizio secolo, strade piccole e strette, piazze animate ed eleganti giardini. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Nella Bakery le lavagne alle pareti, gli articoli incorniciati, il personale sorridente rendono questo locale davvero molto accogliente. Appena entri, si rimane stregati dal profumo è inebriante e - vi confesso - che a questo punto la scelta diventa ancora più difficile. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Oltre alle cupcukes, da Magnolia si possono acquistare torte soffici e appetitose sistemate su alzatine di vetro. Punto di forza del laboratorio: la preparazione a vista delle cupcakes! Incredibile! E tanto per non perdere le buone abitudini di marketing, è possibile acquistare anche numerosi oggetti di merchandising con il logo del negozio!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.billysbakerynyc.com/index.html"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;BILLI’S BAKERY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Per la mia terza degustazione, ho scelto una &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;chocolate cupcake&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt; con &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;crema di burro di colore viola&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;. La pasta al cioccolato era morbida, la crema di burro, leggera e gustosa.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Il negozio si trova nella zona di &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Tribeca&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;, un quartiere ricco di ex magazzini trasformati in lussuosi condomini e moderni uffici. Lo store è seducente, piacevole e accogliente. Sono molto attenti al marketing e al branding (come tutti gli americani!!): ogni dettaglio riconduce sempre al logo: dalla bicicletta in esterno con annesso vano rimorchio, ai materiali di confezionamento, al merchandising in vendita nello store, ai colori usati per la stessa pasticceria. Bravissimi!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Le cupcakes in esposizione sono tante, dai colori e dalle decorazioni tra le più divertenti e gustose che abbia. Anche i box in cartone e le bags sono irresistibili! O mamma mia!!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="FR"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cupcakecafe-nyc.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;CUPCAKE CAFÉ&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Alla volta della mia quarta degustazione, mi sono buttata su una &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;chocolate cupcake con decorazioni floreali&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;. La maggior parte delle decorazioni di questa pasticceria si ispirano ai fiori che ci sono in natura: rose, calle, ranuncoli, girasoli nei vari colori e tonalità. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;La pasta era saporita, un po’ compatta e la crema troppo, troppo burrosa per i miei gusti!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Il negozio si trova in una zona a confine con Chelsea. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Vincente è la formula di &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;cafè con libreria e spazio giochi per bambini annessi: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;ai bambini è permesso leggere, colorare, divertirsi, gustando per merenda una cupcake.

La pasta mi ricordava molto il Tortino Porretta (i bolognesi sanno a cosa mi riferisco), la crema di burro era soffice e dolce. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Questo forno, famoso soprattutto per le sue baguette sfornate ogni giorno, si trova nel quartiere dell’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Upper West Side&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;, ricco quartiere residenziale, storicamente considerato il cuore liberale e intellettuale di Manhattan.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Silver Moon è un negozio accogliente con un’ampia area riservata alla preparazione dei prodotti, naturalmente a vista! Giusto per non avere dubbi sulla provenienza del pane, perché appena viene sfornato, lo sistemano immediatamente nelle griglie della vetrina! Dal produttore al consumatore senza passare dal via!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Anche nel tardo pomeriggio le cupcakes sono allestite nelle lattine di metallo, pronte per i golosi! &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sugarsweetsunshine.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;SUGAR SWEET SUNSHINE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Dopo 5 minuti di indecisione la mia scelta questa volta è ricaduta su una &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;lemon cupcake&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;, con la &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;gustosa crema di burro al limone&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt; e la scorza per la decorazione. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Gusto fresco, sapore intenso! &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Questa pasticceria del &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Lower East Side&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt; – area che agli inizi del XX secolo ospitava milioni di immigrati appena sbarcati in città e che oggi&amp;nbsp;è caratterizzata da una vita sociale dinamica e molto intensa - propone in ingresso una grande lavagna su cui sono indicati i motivi per cui è importante mangiare una cupcake. Davvero curiosi! Se si varca la soglia e non si ha voglia di leggere, basta infilare dentro il naso, respirare il buon profumo e ammirare le tante e diverse cupcakes esposte nelle vetrine del bancone per decidere di fare una sosta golosa da Sugar Sweet Sunshine! Dopo la mia scelta combattuta, mi sono gustata la cupcake nel salottino informale e accogliente allestito nella pasticceria. L’atmosfera è vivace, perché la pasticceria è frequentata da un pubblico giovane e simpatico.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Fuori concorso… &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Guggenheim Museum&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;A testimonianza di come il culto sia diffuso, anche il Guggenheim non poteva sottrarsi dalla vendita delle cupcakes, che si sono rivelate indispensabili durante una pausa della visita al museo!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Beh ora mi è un po’ più chiaro questo amore per le cupcakes… e voi che dite? &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;[ENG]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;

Io e la ragazza greca, Nancy, in quanto prive di accompagnatore maschile, facevamo coppia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Quali le differenze con i nostri matrimoni? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Innanzitutto, l'orario e il giorno in pieno agosto, abbiamo detto, piuttosto improponibili in Italia. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Ma anche la durata: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;in Polonia i matrimoni vengono celebrati uno dopo l'altro&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;, il prete ne celebra uno ogni mezz'ora. Di conseguenza, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;la sposa non può assolutamente arrivare in ritardo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;, e infatti arriva insieme allo sposo. Se arrivasse in ritardo rischierebbe di sposarsi con lo sposo programmato per la mezz'ora successiva!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;In chiesa le cose non sono molto diverse, visto che anche lì il rito è cattolico e, anche senza sapere la lingua, sapevo quando alzarmi o quando mettermi a sedere senza bisogno di seguire gli altri. Appena fuori dalla chiesa, però, un'altra differenza. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;La sposa e lo sposo devono ricevere baci, congratulazioni e regali da ogni singolo invitato&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;, rimanendo in piedi fuori dalla chiesa tutto il tempo necessario. Al matrimonio di Marysia e Janek c'erano almeno 150 invitati, per cui la fila si snodava oltre il lato della chiesa, incrociandosi con la fila del matrimonio precedente, che non aveva ancora terminato questo rituale. La madre di Marysia le stava a fianco con un ventaglio e una bottiglietta d'acqua, perché dopo il cinquantesimo bacio ricevuto e il cinquantunesimo dato, la povera sposa stava per svenire e aveva in volto un sorriso stampato un po' alla joker.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Quindi, concluso questo rito faticoso sia per gli sposi sia per gli invitati, una navetta ci ha portato fuori città, al ristorante “Il vecchio mulino”, situato nella campagna varsaviese. Lì ci attendevano - ahimé, noi ignari, non lo sapevamo ancora - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;dieci ore di fila di pranzo/cena&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;: dalle 18 alle 4 di notte! Prima di cominciare, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;il benvenuto a base, naturalmente, di vodka&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;, per gli sposi e per gli invitati, da parte dei camerieri e dello staff del ristorante. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Una prova attendeva però gli sposi, e consisteva nel seguente test: le rispettive madri offrivano loro due bicchierini, all'apparenza identici, contenenti entrambi un liquido trasparente. Dentro uno, però, c’era acqua, dentro l'altro vodka. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Al 'via' impartito dalle madri, i due sposi dovevano scolarsi il liquido trasparente tutto d'un fiato. In Polonia, tradizione vuole che a chi dei due tocchi la vodka, tocchi anche detenere lo 'scettro' del potere in casa e nella famiglia. Nel caso dei miei due amici, è toccato a lui, Janek, e mi è venuto il dubbio che fosse stato pilotato dalla madre di lui, nonché suocera di Marysia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Così è iniziato il banchetto e anche le danze. I tavoli erano disposti a ferro di cavallo in una stanza molto grande, lasciando al centro lo spazio per le danze, appunto, che hanno intervallato tutta la serata tra una portata e l'altra. La musica era la più varia, spaziando dai lenti americani, ai lenti polacchi, alla musica da discoteca americana, a quella - piuttosto spaventosa - da discoteca polacca. Ecco un'altra differenza rispetto ai matrimoni (almeno a quelli a cui ho assistito io) italiani: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;tutti ballavano&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;, senza distinzione d'età, dagli amici, ai genitori, ai nonni compresi, che anzi, erano tra i più arzilli.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;A noi amici 'erasmus' era riservata un'ala del tavolo con menù in inglese: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;dopo una portata di affettati, formaggi e tramezzini vari, è stata la volta della zuppa patate e cipolla&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;, poi di un &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;piatto tipico piuttosto pesante a base di carne&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;, quindi della torta a mezzanotte in punto (quella, piuttosto classica alla frutta). Alle due c'è stata al grigliata a buffet in giardino, per cui è stato obbligatorio alzarsi dalla sedia a cui eravamo semi-incollati e dirigerci all'esterno, e alle quattro altro round di dolci.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Ma non tutti gli invitati hanno resistito fino all'ultima portata. I più stoici, inopinatamente, erano proprio i nonnetti polacchi, abituati a shots di vodka uno dopo l'altro come fosse acqua fresca e a cui brillavano gli occhi nel danzare canzoni d'altri tempi. Infatti, ad accompagnare le multiple portate, c'erano tre bicchieri, che venivano continuamente riempiti dai camerieri efficientissimi: uno, grande, per l'acqua, un altro per il succo d'arancia, e uno più piccolo per &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:personname productid="la vodka. Nessun" st="on"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;la  vodka. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Nessun&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/st1:personname&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt; bicchiere per il vino.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt; Alle dieci e mezzo di sera Stephan, un ragazzo tedesco amico dai tempi dell'erasmus dello sposo, era in bagno a rimettere, e non ne è uscito che al mattino trasportato di peso dagli amici nella navetta che ci ha riportato a Varsavia. Evidentemente la rinomata capacità di reggere la birra dei tedeschi non è sufficiente per reggere un numero equivalente di bicchieri di vodka!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Dopo la torta c'è stato anche il tradizionale &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;lancio di rito da parte della sposa, ma non del bouquet, bensì del velo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;. Non solo, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;a seguire è stato il turno del lancio della cravatta da parte dello sposo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Ultimo particolare: per danzare con gli sposi, in Polonia, si paga!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt; C'è proprio un piattino dove si lasciano offerte per fare un giro di ballo con lo sposo o la sposa e contribuire così al loro futuro assieme. Al matrimonio di Marysia e Janek lo sposo era il più gettonato, e io sono riuscita solo a ballare per metà canzone quando mi è stato portato via da una agguerrita e attempata dama. Beh, così è la vita. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;

I have known Marysia since 2004, when we spent a semester together in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Berlin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;, living in the same residence as Erasmus students. After 2004, we have seen each other three times: once when I had visited her in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Warsaw&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;, together with my French friend Ludivine and my Greek friend Nancoula (Nancy), and the second when they visited me in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Bologna&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;, and the third when Marysia and her future husband Janek stopped by in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Bologna&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt; to say hi during their vacation in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Tuscany&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Marysia and Janek's wedding was therefore the third occasion for an 'Erasmus' reunion and to share the joy of our friends. My French friend, Ludivine, was also invited and came with her fianceé (now, husband), my Belgian friend Wouter came with his fiancé Sara, and I went alone.  Together with my Greek friend Nancoula, who also came alone, we were the third 'international' couple.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Polish priests&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt; (they are catholic, like in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Italy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;are pretty busy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt; with celebrating weddings on Saturdays in August. Indeed, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;they have a really tight schedule, celebrating four or five wedding in a row in the same afternoon! That's the reason why the bride cannot be late&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;, otherwise she’d run the risk of being paired with the following groom! Polish brides, however are different from Italian ones, in that they are always on time. Also, they arrive together with their groom, in the same car (at least in the case of Marysia and Janek). Guests like us were waiting for them outside of the church. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;The ceremony was very similar to Italian catholic ceremonies, so I didn’t need to look at what the other (Polish) guests where doing to know when I had to stand up or to sit down during the mass. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Then, after the mass was over, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;a weird ritual (to my Italian eyes) took place, as Marysia and Janek were to receive kisses, congratulations and presents took place from each of the guests, while everyone was standing outside of the church for more than one hour! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;At Marysia and Janek's wedding there were at least 200 guests attending the ceremony in the church, and the line of people waiting to congratulate to the newlyweds was so long it was almost going round the corner of the church. Poor Marysia, after the 50&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt; kiss given and the 51&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;st&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt; kiss received, she had reddish cheeks and a printed smile on her beautiful but tired face, and her Mum was standing next to her with a bottle of water providing some essential refreshment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;After the congratulation ritual was over, a shuttle took us to the countryside outside of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Warsaw&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;, to a restaurant called “Stary Młyn”, or “The old mill”. Marysia and Janek arrived a little bit later with their old beautiful &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Pontiac&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt; car from the 1920s.Their mothers were waiting to welcome them with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;another Polish ritual&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;, just before entering the restaurant. The ritual turned out to actually be the following 'challenge': the mothers (Janek’s mom – Ewa, Marysia's mom - Zosia) offered the young couple &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;two small glasses filled with a transparent liquid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;: one filled with water, the other with vodka. Marysia and Janek had to drink it all in one go. Polish custom says, who drinks the vodka will have the “power” in the house and in the family! In the case of my friends, the power went to Janek...But having known Marysia for quite a long time, I know she has a hidden talent for exercising her own power!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;After this ritual, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;the feast started. It would be a ten-hour long feast, from 6 pm until 4 am!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt; Between one course and the next, the music was playing, and everybody was dancing. And when I say everybody, I do mean 'everybody'! Not only young people, but also middle-aged people and even old people were dancing passionately slow dances as well as disco music (curiously enough, I also got to listen to some Polish disco music).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;As for the drinks, there were three glasses in front of each guest, which were constantly being refilled by some very efficient waiters: one for water or orange juice/coke, one for wine, and a smaller one for vodka, of course! Polish people apparently can drink vodka like Italians can drink wine and as German can drink beer, which says a lot on the quantity of vodka that Polish people are able to drink while remaining sober! (By the way, one of the German friends of Janek thought he could drink vodka as if it were beer, but he was mistaken, and at 10:30 pm he had to run to the restroom because he felt sick, and spent the rest of the night there).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;At midnight Marysia cut a beautiful cake decorated with red roses, and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;then the traditional 'good-luck throw' by the bride took place&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;. But in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Poland&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt; it's not flowers which are being thrown, but  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;the bride's veil&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;. After Marysia, it was Janek's turn to throw something, in that case, his tie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Last interesting piece of Polish culture that I learnt at this wedding&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;: you have to pay to dance with the bride or with the broom!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt; No kidding. I was kind of stunned when Janek's best man came up to me with a dish inviting me to leave the money in order to have one dance with Janek, but actually I then found it a nice, original and funny way to contribute to the future of the newlyweds. When it was my turn, I could dance with Janek only for half a slow dance, when another older lady took him away from me! Both he and Marysia were really good fund-raisers, and dancers, that night. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;

L’intraprendenza è sempre premiata, almeno al di là dell’oceano. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Se la vostra preoccupazione è creare armonia tra gli ospiti che spesso e volentieri hanno provenienze e interessi differenti, beh, ecco la soluzione per “rompere il ghiaccio” e per creare tra loro un po’ di complicità.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Elana di &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.melangerienyc.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Melangerie&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;

Come? Realizzando degli &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;alberi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;genealogici degli invitati&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;: una rappresentazione grafica dei loro legami rispetto agli sposi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Noi l’abbiamo trovata un’idea semplicemente geniale! Perché? Quante volte vi è capitato a un matrimonio di porvi la domanda… “ma chissà chi è questo bel ragazzo al tavolo con Susanna”, oppure “ma chissà questa signora che parla con la sposa chi sarà, la zia o l’insegnante di tango?”. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Bene con questa idea, ogni curiosità potrà essere soddisfatta!!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Se l’idea del &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;segnaposto&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt; continua a darvi il tormento perché non sistemare sui tavoli &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;piccoli vasetti di vetro con le rare foglie di tea e fiori naturali lavorati a mano che sbocciano deliziosamente una volta infusi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;? Un’idea davvero insolita e che i vostri ospiti potranno gradire con gli occhi – sono sempre splendide composizioni – ma anche nel gusto, perché queste miscele di the bianco o verde sono davvero una squisita bontà! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Infine gli americani hanno trovato anche il modo di chiudere in bellezza anche il ricevimento! Se qualche sbadato, e succede spesso, con un passo di danza troppo avventato sporcasse ahimè l’abito della sposa?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Non vi preoccupate, un’azienda specializzata nella pulitura di capi di abbigliamento offre un fantastico &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;kit di emergenza per la sua pulitura&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;! A ogni macchia il suo specifico prodotto… e lo sbadato di turno avrà salva la serata! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Questo evento newyorkese mi ha proprio convinto e ci ha dato una bella iniezione di originalità e voglia di rinnovarci!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Prima o poi anche qui da noi gli intraprendenti avranno il giusto riconoscimento.

How? Creating a family tree of the guests: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;a graphical representation of their ties compared to the spouses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;We found this idea simply brilliant! Why? How many times have you been to a wedding and asked the question ... " who knows who is that handsome guy at the table with Susanna?" or " who knows that lady who speaks is speaking with so-and-sos wife?” Well with this idea, every curiosity your guests have about one another is satisfied! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;If the idea of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;place holder&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt; continues to trouble you because you don’t know what to do, try this idea.

Its unique and unusual and your guests will not only enjoy the beautiful display, but also the taste because these mixtures of white or green tea are absolutely delicious! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;And finally, Americans have come up with a great idea to help easy the worry of something happening to your beautiful white wedding dress.

Dalle bellissime tovaglie in raso che risaltavano incredibilmente sul prato verde, ai deliziosi segnaposti – sacchettini creati all’uncinetto dalla mamma di Jovanka – che contenevano i gustosi zuccherini bolognesi.

The designs were &amp;nbsp;inspired by the embroidery of fabrics and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;brocades of the early twentieth century&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="background: white;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="background: white;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="-webkit-background-clip: initial;

Lo scorso 7 Aprile a New York ho partecipato a un evento dedicato al matrimonio davvero molto interessante: &lt;strong&gt;New York weddings event&lt;/strong&gt;, una manifestazione promossa dal New York Magazine, uno dei settimanali più leti nella Big City. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;La manifestazione si è svolta nella splendida cornice del &lt;strong&gt;Metropolitan Pavillion - un loft sulla 18th Street in direzione west&lt;/strong&gt;. La cosa che più mi ha incuriosito è stata la formula di questo evento: rispetto agli eventi dedicati al matrimonio che solitamente siamo soliti visitare in Italia, questo si svolgeva in sole 3 ore! Davvero bizzarro per noi wp italiane abituate a fiere che arrivano a durare anche una settimana!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Ma la mia curiosità è stata presto colmata: "A New York nessuno ha tempo da perdere!".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Accolta all’ingresso con un calice di bollicine, ho cominciato emozionata la mia prima visita a una fiera del wedding a stelle e strisce! L'evento ha ospitato quasi un centinaio di espositori selezionati. Tutte le categorie sono state adeguatamente rappresentate: fotografi, pasticceri, location, catering, atelier, gioiellerie, ecc.. e ovviamente non potevano mancare le colleghe wedding planner! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Ogni espositore ha allestito con grande gusto ed eleganza il suo spazio. Nel poco tempo a disposizione era importante andare a segno con eleganza e originalità. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Mi ha colpito la &lt;strong&gt;presenza massiccia di aziende dedicate alla categoria "stationery"&lt;/strong&gt;, ovvero le partecipazioni di nozze e in generale tutta la parte grafica legata al matrimonio: dal save the date ai ringraziamenti, dai menù ai segnaposto. Sarà che sono un'accanita sostenitrice di progetti grafici personalizzati - cerco sempre di orientare le mie spose in questa direzione perchè sono anche questi i dettagli che raccontano la propria storia - ma è stato un piacere per gli occhi ammirare le tante proposte suggerite, tra le svariate carte, decorazioni e grafiche tutte una diversa dall’altra. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grande attenzione è stata data anche alla bellezza e alla forma fisica, che a differenza dell'Italia non sono legate solo al "trucco e parrucco". Qui bellezza significa anche fitness e chirurgia estetica.&lt;/strong&gt; E mi raccomando, non si può trascurare il sorriso che deve essere davvero smagliante! Numerosi erano i centri per lo sbiancamento dei denti, che consegnavano a tutti i passanti un primo dentifricio di prova… della serie provare per credere. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Molte erano anche le pasticcerie con le loro monumentali wedding cake. Posso confermarvi che qui in America continua ad imperversare la "cupcake mania" anche per il giorno delle nozze. Guardate che meraviglia questi dolci capolavori. Tornerò comunque sull'argomento cupcakes perchè ho deciso di immolarmi alla causa e approfondire la faccenda, assaggiandone il più possibile.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;E infine il tocco di glamour per le spose newyorkesi: gli accessori per rendere l'acconciatura davvero speciale.&lt;/strong&gt; Cerchietti decorati con piume o strass, pettinini con nastri e fiocchi o ancora velette con fiori. Il velo qui non è più di moda e i fotografi impazziscono per i preziosi dettagli da fotografare! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Anche io non ho resistito e mi sono acquistata due meravigliosi cerchietti che indosserò ai miei prossimi matrimoni! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Che ne dite, 3 ore interessanti, no? Il capitolo sulle curiosità incontrate in fiera lo rimando alla &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;prossima puntata! Quindi, rimanete sintonizzati!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;[ENG]&lt;/strong&gt; On April 7th, I attended an event dedicated weddings in New York "New York weddings event", an event sponsored by &lt;strong&gt;New York Magazine&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The event was held in the splendid &lt;strong&gt;Metropolitan Pavilion - a loft on 18th Street towards the West&lt;/strong&gt;. The thing that most intrigued me was the formula of this event, an event dedicated to weddings that only took place for 3 hours! Here in Italy, we we:planners are used to the events lasting all week! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;But alas, this is the city that never sleeps and "New York has no time to lose."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;t the entrance of the event, I was greeted with a glass of bubbly and excited to start my first visit American wedding event! The event hosted nearly one hundred specialized exhibitors for everything you’d need for the perfect wedding; photographers, confectioners, location, catering, workshops, jewelers, etc. and obviously the fellow wedding planner! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Every exhibitor prepared their space with great taste and elegance that it was hard not to stop at every single booth. In the short time available, it was important to score with elegance and originality. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;I was struck by the &lt;strong&gt;massive presence of companies dedicated to "stationery"&lt;/strong&gt; or the wedding invitations and in general all the graphics related to marriage, from save-the -dates to thank you cards, to the menu placeholder. I always try to steer my wives in this direction because these are details that tell their story - but it was a feast for the eyes to admire the many proposals that, among several cards, decorations and graphics were all different from each other. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Great attention was also given to beauty and fitness, unlike Italy, which are not related only to "makeup and wigs." Here it also means fitness and beauty and cosmetic surgery. &lt;/strong&gt;And please, you cannot ignore that every bride needs a beautiful white smile! I was amazed at the many centers for whitening teeth! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;There were also bakers with their monumental wedding cake. I can confirm that here in America the "cupcake craze" for the wedding day is still all the rage. Look at how wonderful these sweet masterpieces of perfection are. I will return to the matter of cupcakes because I decided to sacrifice myself understand this phenomenon by tasting as many cupcakes as possible. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And finally, what would New York be without a touch of glamour for the New York brides? Accessories to make your hair really special.&lt;/strong&gt; Headbands decorated with rhinestones or feathers, combs with ribbons and bows, or veils with flowers. The veil is no longer here and fashion photographers go crazy for precious details to photograph! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Even I could not resist and I bought two wonderful circles that I’ll wear at our next weddings!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;So you think 3 hours isn’t enough time? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The chapter on unusual sights at the fair to return the next episode!

text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Massimo e Dina sognavano un matrimonio particolare: ricreare una &lt;b&gt;ambientazione dal sapore medievale&lt;/b&gt; per trasmettere ai loro ospiti la loro passione per questo periodo, ricreando l’atmosfera di quei tempi, fatta di storia e di magia.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Atmosfere di un lontano passato, che abbiamo abbinato a un gusto più attuale e moderno.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;La prima importante selezione è stata &lt;b&gt;la sede del ricevimento&lt;/b&gt;, fondamentale per poter ricreare la giusta atmosfera. Così abbiamo individuato un agriturismo immerso tra le colline dell’Appennino bolognese. In queste terre coperte di vigneti, uliveti e alberi da frutto si trova questo splendido borghetto medievale, ristrutturato con gusto ed eleganza, perfetta cornice per il matrimonio di Massimo e Dina. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Il gusto più moderno è stato mantenuto nelle scelte del &lt;b&gt;menù&lt;/b&gt;, nei &lt;b&gt;tovagliati &lt;/b&gt;di seta color pervinca e nella morbidezza delle mille rose che hanno completato l’allestimento. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;L’&lt;b&gt;intrattenimento&lt;/b&gt; è stato un omaggio al passato. Ci siamo rivolti ad un gruppo di professionisti di rievocatori storici con i quali abbiamo allestito nella corte del borgo un vero e proprio campo medievale attrezzato: &lt;b&gt;una grande tenda arredata&lt;/b&gt; con rastrelliere per  sistemare le armi, il letto matrimoniale ricoperto di pelli, sedie, tavoli e bauli che hanno calato gli ospiti nella vita quotidiana dei combattenti del Medioevo. &lt;b&gt;I &lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;b&gt;dodici figuranti&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; - uomini, donne e bambini - hanno accolto in abiti civili dell’epoca gli increduli invitati, che hanno subito utilizzato il campo come inusuale set fotografico.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;Dopo il taglio della torta, un &lt;b&gt;banditore &lt;/b&gt;ha convocato nel cortile gli sposi e gli ospiti per dare inizio al torneo: veri e propri &lt;b&gt;duelli con spada, scudo e lancia&lt;/b&gt;. Al vincitore, l’onore di augurare a Massimo e Dina tanta felicità per il loro matrimonio.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;Massimo  and Dina dreamed of having a different type of wedding: giving their wedding a medieval taste and letting their guests  live out their passion for those times made of history and magic. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt; &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;For  their special day, we wanted to create a "Once upon a time," with a few modern touches. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;The  first important decision was selecting the perfect place for the reception.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;With their ideas, we found an agrotourism &lt;i&gt;“agriturismo” &lt;/i&gt;hidden up in the hills of  the Bolognese Appenines.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The rolling hillsides covered with vines, olive groves and fruit trees there helped  create a splendid Medieval village.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;We  added the modern touches in the menu choices, in the silk periwinkle napkins, and the softness of the thousand roses that  completed the table settings.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt; &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;The  entertainment was a homage to the past.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;With a  historical reenactment of the era, we worked with a professional group who was able to decorate the courtyards of this village, giving it a real medieval feel: a huge tent  was equipped with racks to accommodate the weapons of the time, a king sized  bed covered in leather, chairs, tables and benches that made the guests feel  as if they were living the daily lives of soldiers in the Middle Ages.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The twelve actors – men, women and children all wearing clothes of the era -&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;welcomed the incredulous guests who immediately turned this  village into a set for a photo shoot.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;After  the cutting of the cake, all the guests and the newlyweds joined a tournament: real duels with swords, spears and  shields.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;To the winner went the honor of wishing Massimo and Dina happiness in their future.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span

Per le decorazioni floreali abbiamo privilegiato la margherita, un fiore semplice e di stagione. In chiesa era composta in soffici sfere, calate dal soffitto, che sembravano galleggiare nell’aria della pieve romanica, regalando alla cerimonia un’atmosfera magica. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al ricevimento il tema floreale era sempre la margherita, ma il vero protagonista è stato il colore. Le piccole piantine di margherita, nei vasetti di ceramica colorata nelle nuances del viola, decoravano le lunghe tavolate. Ad ogni tavolo era stato assegnato un colore differente, ripreso dalle tovagliette sistemate per ogni ospite e dai menù-segnalibro utilizzati come simpatico segnaposto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La filosofia del km 0 l’abbiamo applicata all’intero evento: abbiamo cercato di ottimizzare al meglio i trasporti scegliendo location vicine e facilmente raggiungibili; l’agriturismo selezionato ha fornito molti dei prodotti poi degustati agli invitati; abbiamo optato per i fiori di stagione e per l’allestimento si è deciso per materiali biodegradabili o di produzione locale. &lt;br /&gt;Un’eccezione c’è stata, su richiesta degli sposi: la scenografica torta a piani.&lt;br /&gt;Noi abbiamo chiuso volentieri un occhio. Volete darci torto?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;{ENG}&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luke and Erika wanted a simple reception, one full of colors and held outdoors during a wonderful warm summer afternoon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was this request that got us thinking about doing a KM 0 or Eco-friendly wedding. We organized the wedding with fresh products from the &lt;i&gt;agriturismo&lt;/i&gt; that we located for the reception. For our flower arrangements we decided on daisies. Not only are they a simple flower that you can make stunning but they also hold up very well during the hot Italian summers.  We used the daisies inside the church and the reception, to create an amazing summer look. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inside the church we used the daisies to  create soft round bulbs that dropped from the ceiling. This created a floating look inside the Romanesque church, giving the ceremony an even more magical feeling. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The floral arrangements for the reception we used the daisy to create a beautiful center pieces in different sizes around the reception tables. The real star of these center pieces was the color. Small daisy plants in ceramic pots of colored in shades of purple, decorated the long tables. Each table was assigned a different color, taken from the mats placed for every visitor and we created love-themed bookmarks as the menu placeholder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We applied the philosophy of KM 0 to the entire event. We choose local suppliers close to the reception site. The agriturismo  provided many of the local food products for the cocktail hour and dinner, as well as the local wines, fruits and vegetables.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We choose seasonal flowers, and used biodegradable materials or materials that were locally produced.&lt;br /&gt;There was an exception, at the request of the spouses: the spectacular cake plans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How could we say no!?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;
