Bologna, August 3, 2026 — Seven years after that wedding celebrated in front of thousands of people on the beach of Lido di Fermo (Fermo), Lorenzo Jovanotti found the newlyweds he had symbolically united during the first ‘Jova Beach Party’. It happened at the airport, where the singer-songwriter met again Francesca Lucidi Cardinali and Nicolò Cardini, the couple from Spoleto who on August 3, 2019 said their civil “yes” in one of the most emotional and iconic moments of the event.
The meeting captured in a video on social media
The meeting was captured in a video published by Jovanotti himself on social media. In the footage, the singer is seen approaching with a smile, hugging them and fondly remembering that day that moved tens of thousands of people present on the beach. “Seven years later I found the newlyweds I married here at the Jova Beach Party in Fermo, how cool,” he says in the video, showing all the joy for a meeting that feels like a return to the origins. Between smiles, jokes, and photographs, the moment quickly became one of the most shared by the tour’s fans.
One of the most beautiful memories in Francesca and Nicolò’s life
For Francesca and Nicolò, that day in 2019 still represents one of the most beautiful memories of their lives. They had been selected from about 3,000 couples who had participated in the contest launched by Jovanotti to celebrate a wedding during the Jova Beach Party. Although they had already planned the traditional wedding for the following autumn, they decided to seize that unique opportunity and get married civilly right on the beach of Lido di Fermo, in front of the concert audience. It was an unconventional ceremony, accompanied by music, the enthusiasm of the crowd, and the spontaneity that has always characterized Jovanotti’s events. The singer symbolically officiated the moment together with the mayor, turning a simple initiative into one of the symbolic images of the entire summer tour. The photographs and videos went viral across Italy, telling a love story that suddenly became the heritage of thousands of people.
