It was, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the most anticipated and appreciated weddings by lovers of the gossip and the star-system but above all a happy and exciting event for the numerous friends and relatives who are fond of the couple. A hot afternoon in Rome, that of June 16, saw interest in the heart of the city for a fairytale-like wedding. Getting married: the lawyer Cataldo Calabretta, known in the world of TV, culture and politics with the beautiful Carmela Novello. Calabretta has been the lawyer of many personalities of the star system, but also TV presenter and commentator in the most renowned talk shows, he is a university professor and is commissioner of Sorical, the company that manages the water sector in Calabria. The highlight of the wedding is a place of great spirituality: the Church of Santo Spirito in Sassia, near the Vatican. Ancient place of worship of Christianity and dear to St. John Paul II who consecrated it Sanctuary to the Divine Mercy, giving it a precious reliquary kept in a chapel which is the object of continuous pilgrimage. Not a random choice, given that the groom was the coordinator of the editorial project that gave life with a book to the fiction that Raiuno broadcast on the evening of the sanctification of Pope Wojtyla. On that unforgettable afternoon for the new spouses, in a riot of precious roses, the very refined cream-colored “David Austin”, the splendid bride came forward to the church, an authentic representative of Mediterranean beauty, greatly admired in her sinuous dress to caress the shapes; but made solemn by the long train of antique lace. Carmela, a charming professional, originally from Rocca di Neto (in the province of Crotone) who for many years lived in the USA where she was an enterprising “Real estate”. To officiate the wedding under the austere eye of the school’s “Glorious Redeemer” dating back to the 1500s, Monsignor Francesco Viscome, judge of the Vatican Court of Appeal, took care of it. From him words of heartfelt participation underlining the profound meaning of the words and gestures that must help the spouses to keep alive the communion of intentions and mutual love. Galeotto was the meeting of the spouses in New York where the lawyer was for the recording of a Mediaset television program. But for the wedding everything was very Italian, the menu served in one of the most suggestive terraces in Rome and with a breathtaking view. For the occasion, the most beautiful city in the world has in fact disturbed an incredible full moon. Demonstrations of great affection came from more than 200 guests, almost as happy and excited as the newlyweds.
