If you are looking for a gift list, there is none - we occupy too many houses in too many countries, at the moment, and it would be difficult to bring spoons, glasses and bed-clothes back and forth from Rome to The Hague..

Furthermore, coming so far as to Montepulciano is going to be a heavy task for most of you - if you manage to overcome laziness and organizational problems and be there on the 17th July, well.. that would be the best present we could wish.

Still, for those who did not get persuaded by the above lines (you, distrustful people..), we are ready to humbly accept small contributions to our honeymoon trip.
