    Sometimes festa di addio al celibato is more appropriate than addio al celibato alone

Comparing the English definiton of "stag night"

"A celebration held for a man shortly before his wedding, attended by his male friends only."

to the Italian "addio al celibato"

"una festa in onore di un uomo in procinto di sposarsi, tenuta nei giorni immediatamente precedenti le nozze, nella quale viene celebrato simbolicamente l'abbandono della condizione di celibe. Il rito sociale dell'addio al celibato è informato a uno spirito goliardico e vede la partecipazione dei più stretti amici del futuro sposo, tutti di sesso maschile."

we can assume that they have the same meaning, as they include the same elements.

I'm sorry but I couldn't find official sources for the definitions.
