Civil weddings are performed in a town hall or palaces owned by the

weddings usually cannot take place outside, but some town halls can
arrange for a ceremony to take place outdoor if weather allows. The
ceremony lasts about 20 minutes but you can enhance the ceremony as you
prefer. The ceremony is conducted in Italian with an interpreter.
