Adriatica, was the venue "owned by the mayor" or by the town hall?
A civil wedding in Italy must by law be held in a structure owned by the town hall and in a structure open to the public.
Many places now can have outdoor ceremonies but to be legal they must be in a structure which is owned by the government and open to any member of the public who wants to enter.
The castle at Malcesine or the castle at Gradara do such ceremonies but they are owned by the comune and open to anyone who wants to enter during the cermony.
This is actually stated in the ceremony and on the entry in the register.
"In a structure open to the public is actually quoted."
