Museum Casa Rusca

I met Alessia and Guido at a wedding five years ago. They were recently engaged, and it was nice to know their story from the speeches and promises they exchanged during the ceremony at Locarno’s City Hall. After the ceremony we stopped by the stunning Museum Casa Rusca, where Alessia works, to snap a few shots.
