Sofia Coppola and longtime love Thomas Mars tied the knot in a civil ceremony in Italy Saturday.

The filmmaker went back to her roots for her big day, marrying the French Phoenix singer at her family's villa in Bernalda, the town where Coppola's grandparents were born.

The bride's father, director Francis Ford Coppola, walked her down the aisle. Clad in a lavender gown custom-designed by Azzedine Alaia, the 40-year-old "Lost in Translation" screenwriter said "I Do" in front of about 80 guests, including Johnny Depp and director George Lucas.

Mayor Leonardo Chiruzzi performed the civil ceremony. "Everything went well," Chiruzzi told The Associated Press. "It was simple, calm, in the garden."PHOTOS: Gorgeous celebrity weddings

Guests of the couple enjoyed a variety of local cheeses, fish, salads, pasta and pork, which they paired with wine from the Coppola family's farm.

The meal was followed by a simple vanilla cake with chantilly cream, decorated with white flowers. Made to serve about 100 people, it was designed by the chef at the Magna Grecia hotel in Bernalda.PHOTOS: Celebs show off their engagement bling

Disgraced former congressman Anthony Weiner has whisked his five-months pregnant wife, Huma Abedin, out of New York for a romantic vacation in Italy.

Weiner and Abedin are spending a holiday -- or “babymoon” - in Positano at the historic Le Sirenuse resort overlooking the breathtaking Amalfi Coast.

The family-owned retreat, with a spectacular view of the bay, is perfect for a shamed politician seeking a private hideaway with his forgiving wife. According to the resort’s Web site, Le Sirenuse is “furnished with all the comforts of a luxury hotel, while maintaining the atmosphere of a private home.”

The 59 rooms at the tony oceanfront hideaway range from 500 euros ($719) a night for an inner courtyard room to 3,400 euros ($4,889) for a two-bedroom suite with a double whirlpool bathtub overlooking the sea.

Our sources spotted the couple, expecting their first child this winter, enjoying a festive dinner with friends at the hotel’s restaurant, La Sponda.

August 6, 2011 / AFP, Rome / DC.

The mayor of a northern Italian town announced a ban on shops selling kebabs and sandwiches from Friday, saying he objected to their smell and complaining they were not part of Italian tradition.

Massimo Botocci, a member of the populist Northern League and the mayor of Cittadella, near Padua, said such shops were banned from the centre of the medieval walled city.

This kind of food production was "not suited to our historic centre (because of) the way in which the foods are eaten, the smell they give off...", said Bitocci, citing health and sanitation regulations.

"If someone wants to eat a kebab, he can do it at home or outside of the historic centre," he added.

"They aren't part of our tradition."
