The early evening ceremony took place in the garden of the palazzo that Francis renovated in the historic centre of Bernalda, a city near the Gulf of Taranto in Italy's Basilicata region, Mayor Leonardo Chiruzzi - who performed the ceremony - said.
The newlyweds and the father of the bride, wearing a white linen suit and pink shirt, then popped out of the palazzo briefly to greet onlookers. Guests reportedly included Johnny Depp and Talia Shire, the bride's aunt, who is best known for her roles in her brother's Godfather films and as Sylvester Stallone's girlfriend Adrian in Rocky.
