Abstract

The choice of the location to get married changes over time. The aim of the following work is to analyse the choice of the location of the wedding celebration in Italy. This choice is linked to various religious, social, climatic and economic factors. The objective of the work is to provide a descriptive framework on the choice of place to get married covering a long-time span (1996–2023), and provides a useful descriptive overview of geographic and temporal patterns
