PROTESTANT WEDDING IN SANTA MARIA A GRADILLO – RAVELLO

The Protestant legal binding Ceremony in Ravello took place in the church of Santa Maria a Gradillo, a charming little church located in the center of Ravello. The Protestant Pastor gave the possibility to a famous soprano (friend of the bridal couple) to sing during the ceremony Caruso. I have never heard a so sweet and strong voice at the same time. The music made me cry.
