I mean talk about totally the Italian thing to do, especially after you read it. He included a stunning wedding photo of he and his wife of just two years, Chiara Bontempi.

I’m sorry my love, I’m really, really sorry. My ring will stay forever in the riverbed of the city of love, and if you want we'll throw yours in that river, too, so they'll be together forever. And we'll have one more excuse, like you've always asked, renew our vows and get married anew.

 

According to AP News, he literally felt it slipping off during their rainy travel down the Seine while he was holding the flag. Then, splash, into the water.

I followed it until I saw it bounce inside the boat. But the rebound went in the wrong direction unfortunately ... If it had to happen, if I really had to lose this ring, I couldn’t imagine a better place. It will remain forever on the riverbed in the City of Love.
