Wow, that’s a very good question… I’ve not had the good fortune of going to a wedding in Italy, so I’ve never even thought about attire or gifts! I think both depend a bit on the location & the couple getting married – I would hope that your friends who are getting married would be okay providing this information, too. They seem like logical questions to ask, especially when you’re coming from overseas, are unfamiliar with Italian wedding traditions, & need to figure out what to pack!

I found a blog that may help point you in the right direction – the articles are a couple years old, but hopefully they’ll help a bit:

We have been invited to attend the wedding of some Italian friends on April 21, 2012. It will be held in a country villa near Montepulciano. What is appropriate attire? What constitutes an appropriate wedding gift in Italy?

I don’t have many specific restaurant recommendations on the site, but you can read about Italian food in general here:

In most cases, getting away from more touristy areas and avoiding places that have their menus translated into several languages will help you find the better (more authentic, local, & often cheaper) food in Italy.

I don’t recommend carrying around large amounts of cash, no – if you keep most of it in a hotel safe or in a moneybelt (worn under your clothing) then it could be okay, but if you’re just carrying all of it in your purse or wallet that’s not a good idea.

It’s pretty easy to use debit cards in Italy, and that’s what I recommend (it’s what I do when I travel in Italy). Sometimes I exchange a little euro before I leave home at a local bank, and sometimes I don’t. Big banks in Italy will be able to exchange your Australian dollars for euro, but it’ll often be a higher fee than if you just used your bank’s debit card in the bank machines. Here’s more information about using debit cards in Italy:

I have read it is better to carry mostly cash as a lot of places don’t like credit cards.Also if we bring Australian dollars can they be changed and is it worth it .
Thanks
