He was happy to have this lovely couple in his parish.<br \/>\nLet me spend some words about Lesa and its church.<br \/>\nLesa is located South of bigger and most known Stresa. It is located just in its shores. One of most famous Italian writer <strong>Alessandro Manzoni<\/strong> (who wrote <em>I Promessi Sposi<\/em>) used to spend his summer s here and there are also many other vip living here, among all <strong>Silvio Berlusconi<\/strong> ex Italian prime minister.<br \/>\nChurch of San Martino is located in the centre of the village and overlooks the lake. It was built in 1224 and modified through the centuries.<br \/>\nNowadays the church has a wonderful central nave and other two on the side with beautiful frescos.<br \/>\nThe facade with its arches and the Romanesque tower bell make a great backdrop for amazing wedding pictures.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.italianlakeswedding.com\/blog\/lake-maggiore-weddings\/catholic-wedding-lake-maggiore\/attachment\/03_catholic-wedding-lake-maggiore\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-17466\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.italianlakeswedding.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/03_catholic-wedding-lake-Maggiore.jpg\" alt=\"catholic-wedding-lake-Maggiore\" width=\"500\" height=\"740\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17466\" srcset=\"\/\/www.italianlakeswedding.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/03_catholic-wedding-lake-Maggiore.jpg 500w, \/\/www.italianlakeswedding.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/03_catholic-wedding-lake-Maggiore-202x300.jpg 202w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>All guests and Jim arrived here by boat while Lisa reached them after a while by a limousine car.<br \/>\nThe ceremony was absolutely moving. it was celebrated by Lisa\u2019s priest who knew her since she was a child.
