Do you want to ask your soulmate to marry you during your trip to Italy? The way to organize the perfect proposal is very simple, in this article we give you some suggestions for choosing the most suitable scenario to make the day unforgettable

Every year there are many people who choose Italian landscapes as the backdrop to their marriage proposal. If this is your intention, we want to give you some advice on how to proceed to make your proposal perfect.

Simple and sweet proposal

Is your sweetheart a shy character who doesn’t like to attract too much attention? Bear in mind that a proposal in a public place in Italy will certainly provoke a reaction from those present, especially if they are Italian. They will clap, shout, cheer and offer many congratulations: if this is what you try to avoid, try to opt for a less crowded time and a place that is a little less iconic but still fascinating. Book a wine tasting in the Chianti countryside, inform the tour operator or the structure of your intentions and they will certainly help you in the endeavour. Take advantage of your Gondola ride in Venice to propose to your loved one (but be careful not to do it near bridges, you would certainly attract the attention of passers-by). Book in a restaurant in the center of Milan or in the Trastevere district of Rome: you will enjoy excellent food and you will not risk attracting too much attention.

Scenic proposal

If you are looking for the most scenic and epic way to introduce yourself to Italy, this is the right place for you. Places such as the Colosseum, the Tower of Pisa, the Cathedral of Milan are the iconic backdrop for your proposal. Be careful of places such as museums or even Catholic museums such as the Vatican Museums: in many art places it is not permitted to make marriage proposals (like other actions that may interfere with the visit of other paying tourists) so we advise you to inquire in advance at the information office if you want, for example, to propose yourself in front of Botticelli’s Venus.
