Mantova, Lombardia
Piazza Sordello in the historical center of Mantova. 
And look, half the town gathers round to catch a wedding in progress. The bride is being accompanied into the church by her father. Most of the guests are already in the church, so most everyone outside are just curious bystanders.

wait, did you see the wedding? it almost looks like you got the picture from somewhere else because it is greyscale. It's funny, because many of the other bystanders are also taking pictures--were those other tourists or 'townsfolk'? And the poor little guy who has to carry the train of the dress--it seems like a girly role but what do I know? Well, your photos really portray well, 'picturesque' destinations--like out of a movie or something!
No, I didn't catch the actual wedding. Some of the bystanders might have been tourists, but I doubt it. They weren't clicking away with their cameras (like I was). Actually, I've been fortunate enough not to have run into very many other foreign tourists in the few weeks I've been here. Only local tourists.
Grey scale photos...very impressive... Do you think the Bride and groom are famous... seems like they took over the whole street.. reminds me of a parade.
No, I don't think the bride was anyone famous. She looked slightly embarrassed by the attention, and you could tell she recognized only a few people out of the crowd.
