When global wedding icons meet italian magic in Puglia

Some trips spark inspiration. Others create lifelong connections. But once in a while, a journey becomes a moment in history, one that brings together world-class talent, breathtaking landscapes, and the unmistakable magic of Italian hospitality. The PugliaIn Wedding Tourism Fam Trip 2025 is exactly that moment. Curated by internationally celebrated wedding & event planner Diana Da Ros, and organised by Pubblivela and Assowedding in collaboration with Puglia Promozione, this exclusive experience welcomed ten extraordinary VIP guests, each a visionary shaping the global future of events, weddings, entertainment, and luxury lifestyle. In the sun-drenched charm of Puglia, where ancient olive trees meet Adriatic winds and baroque towns glow with honey-colored light, each guest discovered not only a destination… but a story waiting to be told.
