Michela Murgia marries Lorenzo Terenzi in Dior wedding with queer family

Italian writer and feminist activist Michela Murgia married Lorenzo Terenzi on July 15, 2023, in a ceremony that challenged traditional norms. Murgia described the marriage as a patriarchal and limited tool, forced upon them by the state, which reduces their rich, multi-person experience to a couple. Their family is queer, rejecting labels like groom or bride, and consists of close companions she has built over time. Murgia, who has stage 4 renal carcinoma, wore a custom Dior dress created by creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri. Chiuri dressed the entire queer family in a mini-collection of white, genderless, interchangeable pieces, with Murgia's dress featuring the embroidery "God save the queer." The project is named after this phrase. Chiuri, known for feminist messaging, previously collaborated with artist duo Claire Fontaine on a dress for Chiara Ferragni at the Sanremo Festival, featuring the phrase "Pensati Libera."
