Sofia Coppola was out with her fiancé, Thomas Mars, last night before hanging out with her youngest daughter, Cosima, today in Bernalda, Italy. Sofia, Thomas, Cosima, and Cosima's big sister, Romy, are in the small Italian town for Sofia and Thomas's Saturday wedding. The place holds special significance for the Coppolas — Sofia's great-grandparents used to live there. The Coppola-Mars family headed to Italy late last week, where they've been enjoying dinners out and some rest and relaxation as they prep for this weekend's nuptials. Sofia donned a strapless swimsuit as she spent time with Cosima and Romy at the beach, and her father, director Francis Ford Coppola, has been spotted in Bernalda, along with Sofia's brother Roman Coppola. Sofia is reported to be wearing Azzedine Alaïa for the big moment, which will take place in the gardens of Palazzo Margherita.

Sofia Coppola, her fiancé, Thomas Mars, and their oldest daughter, 5-year-old Romy Mars, celebrated the Festa di San Bernardino in Matera, Italy, last night. Sofia was presented with a special honor by the Lucania region's officials and had her brother Roman Coppola by her side as they enjoyed an evening out. The family is counting down the days to Sofia and Thomas's wedding, which is taking place in the small town of Beranda this Saturday. Sofia first met Thomas when they worked together on The Virgin Suicides soundtrack in the late '90s, and the pair have been collaborators in both work and love for six years. They welcomed their second daughter, Cosima, last May, and Thomas's band Phoenix has provided music for several of Sofia's films, from Lost in Translation to Somewhere. The pair's Saturday nuptials in the gardens of Palazzo Margherita are expected to be an intimate affair for close friends and family, with lots of free-flowing wine from her and her father Francis Ford Coppola's vineyards!
