(ANSA) - Naples, June 12 - A Naples couple invited migrants
to their wedding in the southern Italian city Sunday.
Marco d'Avanzo, 27, and Nunzia Ricigliano, 23, took up a
suggestion from the bride's father, pro-migrant activist Antonio
Ricigliano, to hold a "multicultural and multi-ethnic event".
The church of the Santissimo Crocifisso and Santa Rita, was
full of Ivorian, Senegalese, North African and Bangladeshi
guests.
"They are our brothers and sisters," explained Marco, waiting
for his spouse. "It's only right to remember them on our most
beautiful day, to share our experience".
The migrants brought the couple greeting cards thanking them
for the sign of welcome, cards which they also threw to the
assembled collection of friends and relatives.
