Your symbolic ceremony in Messina
Symbolic Ceremonies in Messina and Province
The province of Messina is one of the most romantic and scenically extraordinary territories in Italy. From the Strait of Messina to the Peloritani mountains, from the world-famous Taormina to the Aeolian Islands — Stromboli, Vulcano, Lipari, Panarea and the more remote Filicudi and Alicudi. And let's not forget Milazzo with its magnificent castle, Barcellona, Capo d'Orlando, Brolo and the many picturesque hilltop villages of this province. Every corner tells a thousand-year-old story ready to become the perfect backdrop for your love.
I have been a secular celebrant in this province for over 9 years: I know every location deeply, from historic villas overlooking the sea to farmhouses among the lemon groves, from the cliffs of Milazzo to breathtaking terraces on the volcano.
The most evocative locations where I celebrate:
- Taormina — the Ancient Theatre, villas with views of Etna and the Ionian Sea, Isola Bella and the Villa Comunale gardens
- Aeolian Islands — Salina, Panarea, Lipari and Stromboli: unique scenery between volcanoes and crystal-clear sea
- Milazzo and the Cape — breathtaking cliffs, sunsets over the Aeolian Islands and the medieval Aragonese castle
- Castelmola — the hilltop village above Taormina, with a 360° panorama over Etna and the Strait
- Savoca and Forza d'Agrò — timeless medieval villages, iconic locations from The Godfather
- Alcantara Gorges — unspoilt nature at the foot of Etna, between basalt canyons and waterfalls
- Tindari — the clifftop sanctuary, the lagoons and the Tyrrhenian coast where sea meets sky
- Capo d'Orlando and Brolo — beaches, headlands and elegant manor houses on the Tyrrhenian Sea
