Organized by the Association of Bridal Consultants Italian Group, ABC Italia, the online auction presenting donations from the event’s vendors through E-Bay’s charity auction service will raise funds for the Telefono Azzurro child abuse hotline – and the prizes are really hot!
The top bidder gets a week in Cancun, Mexico offered by NH Luxury Resorts, and no less luxurious is the 3 nights in Punta Cana offered by the same Spanish hoteliers.

The ‘precious’ of this auction is the balsamic vinegar tasting spoon. Why? Because balsamic vinegar stands for longevity, assertiveness, high quality, uniquness, and patience in a slow maturation – as precious as love is.

Other highlights of the afternoon at the museum are music by a violin and guitar duo, cake decorating by the only American baker in Italy, a sneak peek of this year’s collection of jewelry by Imelda
This special event is the first of its kind in a country where traditions reign and novelty is shunned. But the novelty lies not only with the auction but in the location hosting the event: a modern art museum with an outdoor park designed for mystical symbolic ceremonies. The museum itself is home to a large number of artworks dating from the renaissance to today, in addition to sculptures from Italy and Europe’s finest artists.
Weddings in Italy are always full of surprises, that’s why so many come here to get married and that’s why Italians are so reluctant to leave!
