Long-distance wedding in the Basilica del Carmine in Naples

On 31 January 1942, four weddings took place in the church of Santa Maria del Carmine Maggiore in Naples. On this occasion, four soldiers who were at the front for Italy were married to their wives by long-distance marriage. The soldiers gave their authority for the marriage by radio transmission. The picture shows the wedding procession of brides in Piazza del Carmine leaving the church. The procession is led by a detachment of Giovani Italiane and closed by a detachment of women from another fascist organization. On the right of the picture, several photographers capture the event
